Redis Storage

• Redis is used to store your email credentials securely. The email and provider are stored in plain text, while the password is encrypted before being saved.
• Make sure you have Redis installed and running locally or configure it to use a Redis server in your environment.

Notes:

• Security: Always ensure that your Redis server is secured and not accessible to unauthorized users.
