Remove an account
Disconnecting
Settings → Accounts → [account] → Disconnect.
You’ll see a summary of what will happen:
- Number of messages SuperMail has synced from this account.
- Number of SuperMail-side tags that will be removed.
- Confirmation of drafts that will be deleted.
Type the email address to confirm and click Disconnect.
What we delete
Immediately:
- The stored credential - Gmail OAuth refresh token, or the IMAP/SMTP app password - from the secrets manager. The provider can no longer be talked to from your workspace.
On the next retention sweep (currently manual; the scheduled retention daemon ships in v0.6.2):
- Synced message metadata (sender, subject, threading).
- Cached message bodies and attachments.
- Draft messages associated with the account.
- SuperMail tags applied to those threads.
Until the retention daemon ships you can email privacy@supermail.app if you need an immediate purge for compliance reasons.
Your source mailbox on Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or any IMAP provider is not touched. Nothing is deleted on the provider side.
Revoking our access on the provider
As a belt-and-suspenders step you can also revoke our credential on the provider directly:
- Gmail (OAuth): myaccount.google.com/permissions → remove “SuperMail”.
- Outlook / Microsoft 365 (IMAP + app password): delete the app password at account.microsoft.com/security/app-passwords.
- Yahoo (IMAP + app password): delete the app password at login.yahoo.com/account/security/app-passwords.
- Other IMAP/SMTP providers (iCloud, Fastmail, etc.): rotate or delete the app-specific password on your provider’s account page.
Reconnecting later
Add the account again any time. We’ll re-sync from scratch (with the same 30-day default backfill). SuperMail-side tags from the previous connection are not restored.
What about my custom domains?
Custom domains are managed at the workspace level, not per-account. Disconnecting an email account doesn’t affect any domains you’ve added. See Remove a domain for that flow.
