How to Connect a SendGrid Mailbox to Mailivery

One of the key features of Mailivery is its ability to seamlessly integrate with various email service providers, including the popular SendGrid platform. 

SendGrid is a cloud-based email delivery service that offers reliable and scalable SMTP and API-based email solutions. By connecting your SendGrid inbox to Mailivery, you can leverage the combined power of these two platforms to enhance your email program's overall effectiveness and ensure your messages reach your target audience.

For this integration, you need:

• A SendGrid mailbox to send emails (SMTP).
• An IMAP mailbox to receive and manage incoming emails. 

Step 1: Create SendGrid Account

1. Access SendGrid: Go to SendGrid's website.

2. Log into your account: Click the “Sign in“ button found at the top-right side of the screen and enter your credentials. 

Step 2: Connect Your Domain/Mailbox

1. Access SMTP Settings: On the left-hand side, click on the “Settings” tab and then “Sender Authentication” from the dropdown.

2. Verify Domain/Mailbox: Navigate to the "Single Sender Verification" section and click on the “Verify a Single Sender” button. Click on “Create New Sender” and input your credentials as needed.
