Adding Google inboxes

Step 1. Turn on your 2FA in Google

Go to your inbox -> click your thumbnail -> Manage your Google account.

It should redirect you to this page where you can go to the Security tab.

Alternatively, you can also go to this link: https://myaccount.google.com/u/2/security?hl=en

From the security tab, click 2-step Verification.

Click Get Started.

Re-enter your password and click Next.

Enter your number -> choose how you want to receive the authentication code -> next.

Check your phone for the code -> enter it -> next

Then, click turn on

Step 2. Generate an app password

Once the 2FA is turned on, go again to this link: https://myaccount.google.com/u/2/security?hl=en and click 2-Step Verification.

Next, scroll down and click App Passwords

Then, name the app. It can be named anything but in this example, I'm using MyApp.(The name used here doesn't affect how the inbox will work in MailFlow).

You can't view the password after you leave this page so make sure to copy it and save it in a notepad

Step 3. Add the Google inbox to MailFlow

Option 1: I have access to the inbox

Go to your account -> Email addresses -> Add inbox.

Click Continue under I have access to the inbox if you have the app password of the inbox that you're trying to add.

Click continue under Google.

Enter the inbox's name, email address, app password, then click test sending & receiving.

If the configuration is correct, click Add inbox.

Option 2: I don't have access to the inbox

If clients don't want to share their app password, click continue under I don't have access to the inbox.

Then, it will generate an invite link.

Copy that and forward the invite link to the client so they can add their own inbox.
