Anypoint Connector for Email (Email Connector) sends and retrieves email messages over standard
email protocols. Email Connector configurations share a basic set of parameters that require a
connection over the protocols you use.

For compatibility information and fixed issues, see the Email Connector Release Notes.

## Before You Begin

To use this connector, you must be familiar with:

- Anypoint Connectors

- Mule runtime engine (Mule)

- Elements and global elements in a Mule flow

- Creating a Mule app using Anypoint Studio or Anypoint Code Builder

Before creating an app, you must have access to Anypoint Platform and Anypoint Studio.

## Common Use Cases for the Connector

Email Connector enables you to:

- Retrieve emails from POP3 mailboxes

- Retrieve, delete, move and store emails from IMAP mailboxes

- Send emails over the SMTP protocol

- Support secure connections for all protocols over Transport Layer Security (TLS)

For examples, see [Examples](https://docs.mulesoft.com/email-connector/latest/email-examples).

## Next Step

After you complete the prerequisites and try the templates and examples, you are ready to create
your own app and configure the connector using [Anypoint Studio](https://docs.mulesoft.com/email-connector/latest/email-studio-configuration).
