7. Check your Mail

After finishing your IMAP set up, your account will verify. If your details are correct, you can now access your IMAP email account in your "Mail" app.

Send a test email to make sure everything is working.

If the verification has failed, you will go back and check that you have your settings correct. Check your email, password and IMAP settings to see if you have any mistakes.
