Importing Emails from Gmail

Importing Emails from Gmail

As a security precaution, Google may require you to complete additional steps when trying to import emails from Gmail to mailwink. When importing emails from Gmail, mailwink logs in to your Gmail account to import the emails. 

Google sees this as you signing into a new device or application and thus might block mailwink trying to sign in to your account. 


We recommend changing your Gmail password immediately after the import is complete. You should also disable access to Less Secure Apps after the import is complete. mailwink will never store your email's password.


To begin, allow mailwink access your Gmail account to import emails; you should do the below:

1. Allow access to your Google account

Go to the following link https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha & click on 'Continue'

2. Allow 'Less Secure App Access' at the following link : https://myaccount.google.com/u/0/lesssecureapps


If you still get blocked, this can be because google sees a login from a new device. Go to your google account and check https://myaccount.google.com/device-activity and let them know the 'Unknown device is ok to use'.


At any time, if you need assitance, please feel free to contact SevenM support team.
