Re-authenticating your email address credentials in Polymail
Last updated on 24 Oct, 2025
If you’ve recently changed your email password or there’s an issue with your email provider, Polymail will prompt you to re-authenticate your login credentials. Until you do, your account will stop syncing and you won’t be able to send emails.
On Polymail Web or Desktop:
A red banner will appear at the top of the main app window notifying you of the issue.
In Settings > Accounts, the affected email address will be highlighted in red with a “Re-authenticate” button next to it.
You can click either the blue “Re-authenticate” button in Settings or the “Click here” link in the red banner.
This will open a new browser tab where you can select your email address or enter your password again to complete re-authentication.
On the iOS App:
A banner will appear at the top of your screen prompting you to re-authenticate.
Tap the banner, and it will open in your browser, where you can enter your updated credentials.
Once re-authenticated, Polymail will automatically resume syncing your emails and restore sending capabilities.
