Get detailed statistics about your OVH mailbox, no account needed, with the right IMAP settings already set up.
IMAP server and port already filled in for OVH — all that's left is to enter your credentials.
IMAP settings for OVH
OVH
- IMAP server
- ssl0.ovh.net
- Port
- 993
- Encryption
- SSL/TLS
- App password
- Not required in general
OVH uses your regular mailbox password; double-check the exact IMAP server in your customer area (often ssl0.ovh.net, sometimes imap.mail.ovh.net depending on the plan).
How it works
- Enter the credentials for your OVH mailbox — the server (ssl0.ovh.net, port 993) is already filled in.
- Start the analysis — MailSync connects to your OVH mailbox read-only.
- Review the resulting statistics — size per folder, most frequent senders, breakdown by year.
What this tool doesn't do
- The operation only works over IMAP: a mailbox reachable only via POP3, or through a closed proprietary connector, can't be used.
- MailSync doesn't read the content of your OVH messages: it's limited to headers (sender, date, size).
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an app password for OVH? +
No, not in the general case. OVH uses your regular mailbox password; double-check the exact IMAP server in your customer area (often ssl0.ovh.net, sometimes imap.mail.ovh.net depending on the plan).
Is my OVH account changed during the analysis? +
No. The connection to OVH is read-only: no message is deleted, moved, or marked as read. MailSync only looks at technical headers (sender, date, size) to build statistics, without ever opening the body of an email.
Is there a volume limit to analyze my OVH mailbox? +
No, the analysis is entirely free regardless of the volume of your OVH mailbox, with no account required.
Are my OVH credentials stored? +
No. Your IMAP credentials are encrypted with libsodium for the duration of the operation, then erased as soon as it finishes. If you're signed in to your MailSync account and choose to save the mailbox, only that one is kept (encrypted); you can delete it at any time.
