In Cloud Office, you can also set up third-party email accounts, such as those from Gmail.
To do so, proceed as follows:
- Log in to Cloud Office with your e-mail address and your password.
- Open the e-mail application.
- Click on “Add mail account” in the bottom left of the folder structure.
- Enter your Gmail e-mail address and the corresponding password.
- Click on “Add”.
→ Cloud office will now automatically attempt to find the correct settings. If this fails, it is possible to make the settings «manually». - Click on “Save”.
→ The Gmail account has ben set up in Cloud office. You will now see your Gmail mailbox in the left sidebar.
Troubleshooting
The following warning may appear:
“Validation of server imap.gmail.com failed due to invalid login credentials”.
In this case, you may be using what is known as an “app password”, which must first be entered under “Password” in the settings. Further information on the “app password” can be found directly at Google.
Attention: To add a Gmail e-mail address in Cloud Office, IMAP access must be enabled in Gmail. This means that in Gmail under “Settings” > “Forwarding & POP/IMAP” > “IMAP Access”, “Enable IMAP” must be activated.
