Are email SMTP connections possible? (ProtonMail)

What are you trying to achieve?

Hi! Is there any workaround that will allow me to add an SMTP email connection instead of IMAP only? I use ProtonMail, which only supports SMTP integrations.

Thanks for any help!

Steps taken so far

I did attempt adding the SMTP server/port/username/password under the IMAP settings [connection type: Others (IMAP)] just to see if it might work, but ended up with an error.

Screenshots: scenario setup, module configuration, errors

Welcome to the Make community!

Yes, that is possible. You’ll just need to get the connection variables right.

Please contact your mail provider for the correct settings.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

P.S.: Did you know, the concepts of about 70% of questions asked on this forum are already covered in the Make Academy. Investing some effort into it will save you lots of time and frustration using Make later!

Thanks for the reply, @samliew !

I should have mentioned that I already contacted them, and they responded with a screenshot in Make showing an Others (SMTP) option within the module configuration settings. That option does not appear for me - I have no idea why - so they pointed out that that’s something I need to work out with Make…

To clarify:
I have: SMTP variables from my email provider
I don’t have: an SMTP option in Make

I have: an IMAP option in Make
I don’t have: IMAP variables from my email provider

Since my email provider supports SMTP (but not IMAP), I’m wondering if it’s possible to set up with SMTP in Make, because I don’t currently see where/how it’s possible.

Circling back on this… You mentioned that it is possible. Can you explain how? (Since I do have the variables from my email provider…)
