> Behavly sends through your own mailbox over IMAP/SMTP. How to connect one and what the controls do.

Behavly sends through **your** mailbox. It does not send from its own servers under your name, which is why deliverability follows your domain's existing reputation rather than a shared pool.

#### Connecting

**Settings → Email → Connect** offers one path: an **IMAP / SMTP mailbox**. It works with any IMAP or SMTP provider — Gmail, Outlook, Zoho and custom hosts — and replies sync straight back into your Behavly inbox.

> Note: One-click Google and Microsoft OAuth is not currently offered. Connect those accounts as IMAP/SMTP mailboxes; with Gmail and Outlook that generally means creating an app password rather than using your normal one.

#### Managing Accounts

_Connected sending accounts. Each can be paused, labelled or marked primary._

Connected accounts can be **paused**, **labelled** and marked **primary**. Pausing stops a mailbox being used for sending without disconnecting it.

#### How Many You Can Connect

Mailbox count is a plan limit. Sending across several mailboxes in rotation is a separate, higher-plan feature — having three connected does not by itself rotate between them.

> Warning: Disconnecting a sending account is recorded in your audit log and raises a notification. Campaigns depending on it cannot send, and the Inbox stops receiving replies for it.
