Supported email providers
Which mailboxes can connect now, which need an app password, and which are not available yet.
Space Cake connects to business mailboxes using the secure mailbox access your provider allows.
Usually easiest
These are usually the simplest to connect:
- custom-domain mailboxes from many hosting companies
- GMX
- mail.com
These often work with the normal email address and mailbox password.
Usually need an app password
These providers usually need an app password:
- Gmail
- Yahoo
- iCloud
An app password is a one-time password created inside your email account settings. It lets Space Cake connect without using your everyday login password.
Not available yet
Microsoft and Outlook accounts are not available yet, including:
- Outlook.com
- Hotmail
- Live
- Microsoft 365
Microsoft now requires a different secure sign-in method. Space Cake recognises those mailboxes, but will not send you into a setup flow that cannot work.
Providers that cannot connect
Proton and Tuta do not provide the standard mailbox access Space Cake needs, so they cannot be connected directly.
