Mailbox account is not receiving the emails in servicenow

There is a requirement that I need to create a mailbox account and an inbound email action for that mailbox.

I tried creating the mailbox account using the SMTP Connection and also by using the IMAP connection but when triggering emails to the mailbox account, I couldn't find any emails are receiving for the mailbox account I created.

Please help me.

Thank you.

Not sure, why using IMPA, as far i know SMTP and POP3 are two type of accounts we configure in ServiceNow for emails.

There is already one existing SMTP connection, so I am not able to create the new one. It is saying there should be only one SMTP connection. And many of the email accounts are configured using IMAP

error that I am receiving

The error is due to time out.

 

To set up an IMAP email account within ServiceNow, you'll need to install the "Email - OAUTH support for IMAP and SMTP" plugin, configure an OAuth profile, and then create an email account with the IMAP type, selecting "SSL/TLS" for connection security
