## Security Notes

- Store credentials in `.env` (add to `.gitignore`)
- For Gmail: use App Password if 2FA is enabled
- For 163.com: use authorization code (授权码), not account password

## Troubleshooting

**Connection timeout:**
- Verify server is running and accessible
- Check host/port configuration

**Authentication failed:**
- Verify username (usually full email address)
- Check password is correct
- For 163.com: use authorization code, not account password
- For Gmail: use App Password if 2FA enabled

**TLS/SSL errors:**
- Match `IMAP_TLS`/`SMTP_SECURE` setting to server requirements
- For self-signed certs: set `IMAP_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=false` or `SMTP_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=false`
