How to receive mail from no gmail app

If you don't have a Gmail app or prefer not to use it, there are still ways to receive mail from a Gmail account. Here are a few options:

  1. Use a web-based email client: You can access your Gmail account through a web-based email client like Mozilla Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook, or Apple Mail. These clients allow you to log in to your Gmail account and access your emails without needing a dedicated Gmail app.
  2. Use a third-party email client: There are many third-party email clients available that support Gmail accounts, such as Airmail, Spark, or Polymail. These clients often offer more features and customization options than the official Gmail app.
  3. Use a desktop email client: You can set up your Gmail account on a desktop email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird. This will allow you to access your emails on your computer without needing a dedicated app.
  4. Use a browser extension: If you prefer to use a browser, you can install a browser extension like Mailvelope or Gmail Notifier to receive notifications and access your emails directly from your browser.
  5. Use a POP3 or IMAP client: You can set up your Gmail account to use POP3 or IMAP protocols, which allow you to access your emails using a third-party email client. This method requires some technical setup, but it can be done.

To set up your Gmail account on a non-Gmail app or client, you'll typically need to:

  1. Enable IMAP or POP3 in your Gmail settings.
  2. Set up your email client or app to use your Gmail account.
  3. Enter your Gmail username and password.
  4. Configure the client or app to connect to your Gmail account using IMAP or POP3.

Remember to always keep your email account secure by using strong passwords and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) if available.
