Connect your Aliyun Mail (aliyun.com) account to EmailWatch using an Authorization Code

阿里云邮箱IMAP设置指南 - 使用授权码连接到EmailWatch

🔑 What is an Authorization Code? / 什么是授权码?

Aliyun Mail (阿里云邮箱) uses an Authorization Code (授权码) instead of your regular password for third-party app access. This is a special password that allows apps like EmailWatch to securely access your email without knowing your login password.

阿里云邮箱使用授权码(而非您的登录密码)来允许第三方应用访问您的邮箱。授权码是一个特殊的密码,允许EmailWatch等应用安全地访问您的邮件,而无需知道您的登录密码。

⚠️

Important: You must generate an Authorization Code in your Aliyun Mail settings. Your regular login password will NOT work for IMAP access.

重要提示:您必须在阿里云邮箱设置中生成授权码。您的登录密码无法用于IMAP访问。
