Acumatica and IMAP
A few months back, IMAP stopped working, and I had to reconfigure the system email account set up in Acumatica to use POP3. We are using Acumatica version 2023 R1. Are there any issues I should know about with IMAP utilizing this version of Acumatica? If not, can anyone provide a link on how to properly set up IMAP to work with the 2023 R1 version of Acumatica?
Thank you.
Hi @richardr
If you’re using Gmail or O365, basic authentication is no longer supported. You’ll need to modify your approach to how these accounts are signed in.
Workaround:
Option 1
Gmail:
Step 1: Turn on 2-Step Verification for your Google account. For instructions, refer to the Turn on 2-Step Verification help article in the Google Account Help portal.
Step 2: Create an app password. For instructions, refer to the Create & use App Passwords section of the Sign in with App Passwords help article in the Google Account Help portal.
Step 3: In Acumatica ERP, use the 16-character code received during Step 2 as the password for your email account on the System Email Account (SM204002) form.
Option 2
Gmail:
Set up Modern Authentication with OAuth 2.0:
