Connect Titan Email to Sickle
Turn on Titan for other apps, then add your Titan Email mailbox to Sickle with its password — or an application password if you use two-factor.
Titan keeps a mailbox closed to mail apps until you switch access on in Titan's own settings. Do that once, then give Sickle your address, your password — or an application password if you use two-factor authentication — and Titan's server names.
Add the mailbox once, on the web or in the Mac app, and it shows up in both — and in every agent you have connected to Sickle.
Before you start
- A Sickle account. If you do not have one yet, start a free trial.
- Your full Titan address, such as
[email protected], and its password. - Where you bought Titan. If it came through GoDaddy or another reseller, use the server settings from that reseller's Titan guide instead of the ones below.
Turn on Titan for other apps
- Sign in to Titan webmail at app.titan.email and click the Settings icon in the top-right corner.
- Click Enable Titan on Other Apps. Titan shows a short tour.
- After the tour, click Enable Titan on Other Apps again to confirm.
If Settings shows Configure 3rd party apps instead, access is already on.
If you use two-factor authentication
With two-factor authentication on, Titan refuses your normal password in mail apps. Create an application password for Sickle:
- In Titan webmail, open Settings → Preferences. Under Account & Security, open Security & Access.
- Under Two-Factor Authentication, click Manage, then verify with your password and a code from your authenticator app.
- Under Application Password, click Set up now, then Generate new password.
- Name it
Sickle, click Generate password, then Copy. Titan shows it only once — keep the page open until Sickle has connected.
Titan's own instructions are in Enable Titan on other apps and Application password for third-party clients.
Titan's server settings
- IMAP server —
imap.titan.email, port 993, SSL/TLS. - SMTP server —
smtp.titan.email, port 465, SSL/TLS. The Mac app sends the mail you write through it, and so does your agent when you approve a send.
Connect on the web
- Sign in at sickle.app and open Mailboxes.
- Click Connect mailbox and choose Other.
- Enter your Titan address and password (or the application password). For IMAP server enter
imap.titan.emailand port 993; for SMTP server,smtp.titan.emailand port 465. - Click Connect. Sickle signs in to Titan to check everything before it saves; you see Checking… while it does.
Connect in the Mac app
- Click + at the bottom of the sidebar (Add mailbox). On first launch, the onboarding screen shows the same choices.
- Choose Manual authorisation (⌘7).
- Enter your Titan address. Under Inbox settings (IMAP), enter the password,
imap.titan.emailand port 993; under Outbox settings (SMTP), the same password withsmtp.titan.emailand port 465. - Click Sign in.
Check it worked
The mailbox appears in the list on the Mailboxes page. If you have an agent connected, ask it "Which mailboxes can you see?" — the new one is there, with nothing to reconnect.
Troubleshooting
- "Authentication failed" or "The mail server rejected these credentials". Check that Enable Titan on Other Apps is on, that you entered your full address, and — if you use two-factor authentication — that you used the application password, not your normal one.
- "Could not reach the mail server". Your Titan may come from a reseller with its own server names; check its Titan setup guide. Otherwise check the ports: 993 for IMAP, 465 for SMTP.
- It worked, then stopped. The application password was revoked or your password changed. Create a new one and enter it in the Can't sign in notice in the Mac app.
Disconnect
On the Mailboxes page, click Disconnect next to the mailbox. To cut Sickle off on Titan's side as well, click Revoke access next to the Sickle application password under Security & Access → Two-Factor Authentication → Manage.
Next: connect your agent
Your Titan mailbox is ready for any agent you connect to Sickle. Pick yours: Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or OpenClaw.
