IMAP

Why is IMAP useful on Bestbuy?

When you want to checkout a high demand item on Bestbuy you have to login again to verify your purchase. During login Bestbuy will email you a code which you have to use in order to checkout.

IMAP enables Kuai to read your emails so the bot can get this code by itself.
