AIn addition to accessing Google Workspace mail from the Gmail web interface, you can send and receive mail from your favorite desktop client. Depending on the client, you can use either the IMAP or POP mail protocol. If you’re switching to Google Workspace from Microsoft Exchange or some other Outlook service, you can use Google Workspace Sync. This is a plug-in for Outlook 2003, 2007, 2010 or 2013 that lets you use Outlook to manage your Google Workspace mail, calendar and contacts—along with your Outlook notes, tasks and journal entries.

AYou can send and receive emails using any desktop-based email client such as Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora, Entourage 2004, Windows Mail, etc. We also have a guide on how you can configure different email clients to send/receive emails.

AWhen you sign up for a Google Workspace account, you agree not to use the account to send spam, distribute viruses, or otherwise abuse the service. All users on your domain are subject to these agreements, which are part of the Google Workspace Acceptable Use Policy. If Google identifies a Google Workspace user who is violating these agreements, we reserve the right to immediately suspend the user. If the problem is domain-wide, we reserve the right to suspend the entire account and deny administrator access to all the Google Workspace services. In such cases, we send a notification to the registered secondary email address for the domain administrator.
