Key differences between POP3 and IMAP

While POP3 fetches messages from a single inbox, IMAP synchronizes a full tree of remote folders. POP3 for Gmail can inspect these folders and apply custom Gmail labels accordingly.

Modern OAuth 2.0 authentication

For enterprise mail hosts like Microsoft 365, Outlook, and Google, we support direct OAuth 2.0 authentication, ensuring credentials are never exposed.

Mapping IMAP folders

Map remote folders (Inbox, Spam, Sent, Archive) to specific Gmail labels to keep your workflows organized.

Initial import limit for recent emails

Avoid flooding your Gmail storage by choosing to import only the most recent 100 emails during initial connection.

Frequently asked questions

Can I choose which IMAP folders to sync?
Yes. You can select specific folders and decide how they map to Gmail labels.
