Send from your Gmail or Outlook address

You can connect a Gmail or Outlook address you already use, pick it in From when you write a message in Mail, and send from it. The message goes out through Gmail or Outlook, so the people you write to see your usual address. Replies come back to that Gmail or Outlook inbox, and EVERJUST keeps a copy of what you sent in your own Sent folder.

Availability

This is switched on per workspace, by request, and an administrator decides who may use it. If Connections is not in your Mail settings, ask an administrator. See For administrators.

What it does, and what it does not

  • It lets you send from your own Gmail or Outlook address.
  • It does not read, list, search or delete anything in your Gmail or Outlook mailbox. EVERJUST asks for permission to send and for nothing else, so it could not do those things even if it tried.
  • It does not bring your Gmail or Outlook inbox into EVERJUST. Mail sent to that address still arrives in Gmail or Outlook. To copy mail you already have into EVERJUST, see Import & export your mail.
  • It does not add your EVERJUST signature to these messages. Your signature belongs to your EVERJUST mailbox.

Connect an address

  1. Open Mail and click Settings, then Connections.
  2. Under Send from your Gmail or Outlook address, click Connect Gmail or Connect Outlook.
  3. On the Google or Microsoft page, choose the account you want to connect and read what it asks for. Click Allow.
  4. You come back to Connections, where a message says the address is connected and the address shows as Connected.

You can connect up to five addresses. If you connect the same address again, it is refreshed in place and does not appear twice. With five connected, you can still reconnect one of them; to add a new address, disconnect one first.

Send a message from it

  1. Click Compose.
  2. Open From. Your mailboxes are listed first, then Connected addresses, such as you@gmail.com (Gmail).
  3. Pick the connected address. A line under From says how the message will go: sent through Gmail, replies go to that address, and EVERJUST keeps a copy in Sent.
  4. Write and send as usual. A success reads Sent through Gmail. (or Sent through Outlook.).

The copy in your Sent folder is marked Sent through Gmail, with the address as a tooltip in the list and written beside it when you open the message, and it stays that way even if you disconnect the address later.

A draft remembers which address it is from. If that address has been disconnected by the time you open the draft, the draft shows your mailbox instead, and nothing is sent from anywhere you did not choose.

What EVERJUST asks for

Gmail Outlook and Microsoft 365
To send mail as you The permission to send email on your behalf The permission to send mail as you (Mail.Send)
To show which address you connected Your email address Your email address
To keep the connection working Offline access, so you do not have to sign in again every hour Offline access, for the same reason

Nothing else is requested. Google and Microsoft show you this list on their own page before you allow it, and each lets you remove EVERJUST later in your own account: Google and Microsoft.

Limits

  • Messages a day. You can send up to 100 messages in any 24 hours from connected addresses, counted together. An administrator can change the number. Gmail and Outlook have limits of their own, which are lower for personal accounts. If one of them stops you, Mail says so in words.
  • Size. A message sent this way can be about 5 MB with its attachments for Gmail and about 2.8 MB for Outlook. Bigger files can still be sent from your EVERJUST address, which takes up to 25 MB.
  • Recipients. The same rules as every message: up to 100 recipients across To, Cc and Bcc, and anyone on your workspace's suppression list is skipped.
  • Your own addresses only. You can only send from an address you connected yourself. Nobody else, including an administrator, can send from yours.
  • A mailbox of your own. The copy goes into your personal mailbox in this workspace, so you need one. A message written in a shared mailbox is still filed in your own Sent folder, never the shared one.

If something goes wrong

Mail tells you what happened in plain words and keeps your draft.

What you see What it means What to do
No longer lets EVERJUST send for you You removed EVERJUST in your Google or Microsoft account, the sign in expired, or your password changed Click Reconnect in Connections
Did not confirm the message The connection broke before Gmail or Outlook answered, so nobody can tell whether it was sent Look in the Sent folder in Gmail or Outlook before you send again, so nobody gets it twice
Reached its own sending limit Gmail or Outlook stopped the account Try later, or send from your EVERJUST address
Refused one of the addresses A recipient address is not valid for them Check To, Cc and Bcc
Too large The message is over what that provider takes this way Remove an attachment, or send from your EVERJUST address
Nothing was sent. Try again EVERJUST could not reach Gmail or Outlook Try again in a moment

While Google is still reviewing EVERJUST, a Gmail sign in may last only about a week and then show Needs reconnect. Connecting again takes a few seconds.

Disconnect

Open Settings, Connections, find the address and click Disconnect. EVERJUST asks Gmail to remove its access, deletes what it kept, and removes the connection. Messages you already sent stay where they are. Outlook does not let an application remove its own access, so for Outlook you can also remove EVERJUST in your Microsoft account's app permissions.

A connection is also removed when your user is archived or deleted.

For administrators

Two settings in Settings, Mail, Policy decide how this works for the workspace:

  • Who may send from a connected Gmail or Outlook address. Everyone with a mailbox (the default), mail administrators only, or nobody. The setting is checked when someone connects and on every send, so choosing Nobody also stops addresses that are already connected. People can still disconnect them.
  • Most messages a person can send a day from a connected address. From 1 to 500, 100 by default, counted over any 24 hours for each person.

An administrator can see that the setting exists and read who may use it in Who can do what, but cannot see which addresses people connected, and no one, administrators included, can see or use the access that was granted. Mail administrators can read mailboxes in the workspace, and that includes the copies of messages sent this way.

What EVERJUST keeps

  • The address, the provider, whether the connection works, and when it was last used.
  • The access Google or Microsoft gave, in a place no screen, report, export or agent tool can read. It is deleted when you disconnect.
  • A copy of each message in your Sent folder.
  • A count of each send (when, how many recipients, whether it worked) for 90 days, with no addresses and no message text, so the daily number can be enforced.

Nothing is shared with anyone, and your Gmail or Outlook mail is never read.
