How to add a google custom email to apple mail

To add a Google Custom Email to Apple Mail, you'll need to set up an IMAP account. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) account with a custom domain (e.g., [yourcompany].com).
  2. You have set up a custom email address (e.g., [yourname]@yourcompany.com) in your Google Workspace account.
  3. You have enabled IMAP access for your custom email address in your Google Workspace account.

Step 1: Enable IMAP in your Google Workspace account

  1. Log in to your Google Workspace account.
  2. Go to the "Apps" section.
  3. Click on "G Suite" and then "Settings" (gear icon).
  4. Scroll down to the "Advanced" section.
  5. Click on "IMAP" and toggle the switch to "On".
  6. Note down the IMAP server settings: imap.gmail.com (or imap.googlemail.com if you're using a Google Workspace account) and the port number (usually 993).

Step 2: Set up Apple Mail

  1. Open Apple Mail on your Mac or iOS device.
  2. Go to "Mail" > "Preferences" (on Mac) or "Settings" > "Mail" (on iOS).
  3. Click on "Accounts" (on Mac) or "Add Account" (on iOS).
  4. Select "Other Mail Account" (on Mac) or "Other" (on iOS).
  5. Enter your name, email address, and password.
  6. Set the "Account Type" to "IMAP".
  7. Enter the IMAP server settings you noted down earlier: imap.gmail.com (or imap.googlemail.com) and the port number (usually 993).
  8. Set the "Username" to your full email address (e.g., [yourname]@yourcompany.com).
  9. Set the "Password" to your Google Workspace account password.
  10. Click "Continue" (on Mac) or "Next" (on iOS).

Step 3: Verify your account

  1. Apple Mail will try to verify your account. If you see a warning message, click "Continue" (on Mac) or "Next" (on iOS).
  2. You may need to enter a verification code sent to your email address. Enter the code and click "Verify" (on Mac) or "Next" (on iOS).

Step 4: Set up your account

  1. Apple Mail will now set up your account. Wait for the process to complete.
  2. Once set up, you should see your Google Custom Email account listed in Apple Mail.

That's it! You should now be able to access your Google Custom Email account using Apple Mail.
