Gmail account

Connect one Gmail or Google Workspace mailbox by signing in as its owner. This is the right choice for your own mailbox, or a mailbox whose password you hold. For many mailboxes in a Workspace, use the Google Workspace connection instead.

Steps

  1. Open Connections, choose New connection, then Gmail account. Or pick it in the guided setup.
  2. Google opens. Sign in as the mailbox's owner, or choose that account if you are already signed in.
  3. Google lists what Mailgestor asks for: read your email messages, read your calendars, read your contacts. Allow all three. If you leave one out, the job for this mailbox archives only the kinds you allowed, and the app tells you which.
  4. You are returned to Mailgestor with the connection created. Create a job from it.

The unverified-app notice

Google shows a warning screen for apps that have not completed its verification. Mailgestor's verification is in progress. While it is, the screen offers Advanced, then Go to Mailgestor. Nothing about the access requested changes; the notice is about the review status, not the permissions.

Some Workspace organisations block users from allowing third-party apps. If Google says the administrator has not allowed access, either the administrator adds Mailgestor to the organisation's allowed apps, or the organisation is connected the administrator's way, as a Google Workspace connection.

What is read

Mail in every label including Spam and Bin, calendar events from every calendar the account owns including cancelled ones, and contacts. Mailgestor keeps each message in its original RFC 822 form.

Reconnecting

If the connection shows Revoked, the credential no longer works: the password changed, the app's access was removed from the Google account's security settings, or the consent expired. Choose Authenticate again from the connection's menu and sign in; the existing mailbox and its archive are kept.
