Before you write
Include your macOS and MailPill versions, the connection method shown in Settings, any error text, and what you expected to happen. Please hide private mail in screenshots. Do not send passwords, Google authorization codes, tokens or a mailbox export.
How do I connect Gmail?
Open Settings → Connect account → Sign in with Google. Select the address in your browser and approve the mail permission on Google’s consent screen. You do not need to choose folders or enter a password into MailPill. MailPill’s name and logo are verified by Google. The separate review for Gmail data access is still being prepared, so Google may show an unverified-app warning or limit new authorizations.
Does Apple Mail need to stay open?
Directly connected Gmail accounts use Google’s API and do not depend on Apple Mail. Accounts connected through Mail still use Mail for synchronization. The connection method is shown beside each account in Settings.
How is the desk organized?
The left side is for mail you put aside. Boxes on the right contain mail received between visits. Group newsletters, notifications and senders independently in Settings. Drag a letter to move it; hold it over another letter to preview a group, then drop it to combine them. Escape cancels a drag and Command Z undoes a completed action.
Do my changes reach Gmail?
Read status, stars, sending, archive and trash synchronize with your email provider. A pending change stays saved on your Mac until it can be sent. Local groups, positions and saved-for-later choices are managed by MailPill on your Mac.
Why is an image missing?
Sender logo and Gravatar services are optional. Enable the service you want in Settings; the label explains what it receives. Original HTML formatting and external mail resources have separate settings. Embedded images can be shown without loading external resources. Some senders simply do not have an image available.
How do I stop access or remove my data?
Use the account menu in Settings to disconnect it and remove its local mail cache and saved credentials. Revoke the app separately in Google Account → Third-party connections. Server mail is kept. Local drafts, exported attachments, caches and backups may remain; see the Privacy Policy for details or contact us for help removing all local data.
