# Use a mail client

> Read your Langmail mailbox from Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, or webmail — app passwords for IMAP and SMTP, plus the connection settings.

Your `@langmail.me` mailbox is a standard mailbox on open protocols. Besides webmail and MCP, anything that speaks IMAP can read it and anything that speaks SMTP submission can send from it.

## Webmail

The fastest way in is [webmail.langmail.me](https://webmail.langmail.me). If you are already signed in to the Langmail app, webmail signs you in automatically — no second password.

## Desktop and mobile clients

Interactive sign-in for Langmail is Google-based, so classic mail clients authenticate with an **app password** instead of your account password.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an app password">
    Open [webmail](https://webmail.langmail.me), go to **Settings → Security**, and generate an app password. The secret is shown once — copy it right away. You can create one per device and revoke each independently from the same page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure your client">
    Use these settings with your full `you@langmail.me` address as the username and the app password as the password:

    | Setting     | Value                                                        |
    | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
    | IMAP server | `mail.langmail.me`, port `993` (SSL/TLS) or `143` (STARTTLS) |
    | SMTP server | `mail.langmail.me`, port `465` (SSL/TLS) or `587` (STARTTLS) |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    Your inbox appears with the same messages — and the same category tags — you see in webmail. Langmail's classification is stored as standard mailbox keywords, so it travels with the protocol.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  One app password covers the mail and calendar protocols (IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV). MCP clients use [OAuth](/connect/authorization) and never need one.
</Note>

## Calendars

The same host serves your calendars as CalDAV collections. To sync them into Apple Calendar, Thunderbird, or Android, see [Use a calendar client](/guides/calendar-clients). Day to day, the calendar surface is also designed for agents: see [Calendar workflows](/guides/calendar-workflows).
