Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/142

Advanced user should be able to override default settings to use IMAP server other than Gmail.

Currently, I can enter another server in the Advanced settings, however, I can't choose the folders, and I can't access the server due to unknown certificate.

It seems there are three steps to fully enable back-up to non-google IMAP servers:

Allow advanced user to enter different email address (other than Gmail) to be used for emails created.
Permit certificates to be accepted/ignored when setting-up.
Permit backup folders and/or categories/tags to be set for each item type.

make sure to select "SSL (optional)". this should help with the unknown certificate problem.

Thanks, that works brilliantly!
It might be worth mentioning in the Readme file, maybe a specific section for using non-Gmail IMAP accounts.
NB It is probably also worth explicitly mentioning (though perhaps it's obvious) that with non-Gmail IMAP accounts folders (instead of labels/tags) are created for each item type.
Thanks. :)
