Setting Up Third-Party Email Clients for Business

Use with clients

Summary: TinkMail Business works with common email clients. Use your full email address as username and a Client Token as password.

TinkMail Business supports standard IMAP and SMTP, so your team can use familiar apps such as Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and mobile mail clients.

Why Client Tokens Are Required

For security, third-party email clients do not use the account login password. They use a Client Token.

This helps protect the main account password and makes access easier to control per device or app.

Create a Client Token

  1. Sign in to the TinkMail web dashboard at https://tinkmail.me/sign-in?biz=1 .
  2. Open Settings > Client Tokens.
  3. Create a new token and give it a clear name (for example: Sales Laptop or iPhone).
  4. Copy the token and keep it safe.

Use this token as the password in your email client.

Client Settings

When adding an account manually in any client, use these values as Account credentials:

  • Username: your full email address (example: [email protected])
  • Password: your Client Token
