This guide will help you obtain a Sina email authorization code so that QClaw can connect to your email. Once connected, QClaw can assist you in processing emails and smartly categorizing your inbox, keeping important communications clear while filtering out invalid information.
Prerequisites
QClaw is installed on your computer
You have a Sina email account
Step-by-Step Guide
1 Sign in to Sina Mail
Open your browser and go to https://mail.sina.com.cn/?from=mail#. Sign in with your Sina email account.
2 Open POP/IMAP/SMTP Settings
Click Settings in the top right corner of the page. Navigate to the Client-side POP/IMAP/SMTP tab.
3 Enable IMAP4/SMTP Service & Verify
Under the "IMAP4 service/SMTP service" section, set the service status to Enable.
When enabling the service, the system will require security verification. Follow the prompts to enter the mobile phone number linked to your account, input the SMS verification code you receive, and click OK.
4 Get Your Authorization Code
Once the verification is successful, a pop-up window will display a 16-character authorization code. Copy this code — you’ll need it to connect QClaw.
Important: Keep this authorization code safe. For security, do not share it with others. If you lose it, you can create a new one.
5 Connect to QClaw
Open QClaw and navigate to Connectors → Email. Select Sina as your email provider. Enter your email address and paste the authorization code you just obtained. Click Connect.
Troubleshooting
Authorization password not working? — Make sure IMAP/SMTP service is still enabled. Generate a new authorization password if needed.
Connection failed? — Double-check that you copied the full 16-character authorization password without extra spaces.
