Hodi

Connect your email

Takes about two minutes

Hodi works with the email you already have. Your mail stays where it is, and Hodi becomes a calmer way to read and answer it.

Open Hodi

Business email ([email protected])

  1. Open Hodi and type your email address and its normal password.
  2. Hodi finds your mail server by itself. If it asks, tap More options and type the "incoming server" (IMAP) name. Your email host lists it under its email settings, often as something like mail.yourbusiness.com.

Gmail, iCloud and Yahoo ask for an app password instead of your normal password. It's a separate password just for Hodi: your normal password stays private, and you can cancel the app password at any time.

Gmail

  1. Turn on 2-Step Verification in your Google Account, under Security, if it isn't on already.
  2. Go to myaccount.google.com/apppasswords, type the name Hodi and tap Create.
  3. Copy the 16-letter password Google shows you.
  4. In Hodi, type your Gmail address and paste that password.

Using Gmail through work or school? Your organisation may have app passwords switched off. Ask whoever manages your account.

iCloud Mail

  1. Go to account.apple.com and sign in.
  2. Open Sign-In and Security, then App-Specific Passwords, and create one called Hodi.
  3. In Hodi, type your iCloud address and paste that password.

Yahoo Mail and AOL

  1. Open your account settings, then Account Security.
  2. Choose Generate app password, name it Hodi, and copy it.
  3. In Hodi, type your address and paste that password.

Outlook, Hotmail and Live

Coming soon. We're building "Sign in with Microsoft" so these addresses connect in one tap. We'll let you know when it's ready.
