Connect your webmail (SMTP/IMAP) — recommended

The fastest way to send Karibu outreach from your own business address. Works with your company domain, cPanel / webmail, Namecheap, Titan, Zoho, Outlook, and Gmail — no Google Cloud, no OAuth app, about five minutes.

Start here — this is the path for most operators
Connecting your existing business webmail with SMTP + IMAP is the quickest way to send from your own address. The Gmail and Outlook OAuth guides are advanced, one-time setups for a workspace administrator — only use them if someone is deliberately wiring up native one-click sign-in.

Why this is the easy path

When a travel agent in Chicago opens your email and the From address says founder@safarisbymary.com, their brain reads “real person from a real safari company”. Sending from your own address is the single biggest lever on your reply rate.

Almost every business mailbox — a custom domain on cPanel, Namecheap Private Email, Titan, Zoho, even Gmail or Microsoft 365 — already speaks SMTP (for sending) and IMAP (for reading replies). Karibu connects over those two standards directly. No Google Cloud project, no app registration, no OAuth verification wait — just your email, your password, and a live connection test.

Before you start

You'll need:

  • The business email address you want to send from (on your own domain if you have one)
  • The password for that mailbox — or an app-password if 2-factor login is on
  • Your provider name (cPanel / Namecheap / Titan / Zoho / Google / Microsoft) — Karibu fills in the servers
  • You are the workspace owner (mailboxes are owner-only)
No IT person required
If your host isn't in the quick-pick list, choose Other / I'll type it in and enter the SMTP and IMAP servers yourself — Karibu tests them live before saving, so you can't save a broken mailbox.
