# [DEPRECATED] How to setup email receiving in Gmail

<p class="callout danger">WARNING: Google is in the process of removing the ability to check email via imap and pop3 from other accounts. You will not be able to use this guide any more.</p>

# FAQ

#### <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I already have a Gmail (or other) email account, what do I do with this ?</span>

Great! First off, you do not need to get rid of your current email account! This is in addition to your own.

Secondly, you can use the @saberguild.org email account in addition to your current one and in many cases, almost seamlessly!

#### <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I have a different email address on PR material, do I need to replace them ?</span>

No! You can use up your current stock of business cards, pamphlets, etc.

<p class="callout info">We suggest that you move to using the correct @saberguild.org address for any **new** materials you make</p>

#### <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I have / had a @saberguild.org email that has a different address, what is happening with that ?</span>

Your old address will be "grandfathered" with a redirect to your correct address so you may still receive email but you will not be able to send from it. Instead, you will be able to send from your new address.

<p class="callout warning">We do not guarantee that your old @saberguild.org address will function in the long run, they will be sunset in time.</p>

#### <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Why the new format</span>

The new temple emails are easier to read, reduce the possibility of some unfortunate results of shoving them together ( jedha\_temple vs jedhatetemple ) for example.

Also, we hope to set up automated provisioning and other tools, so, in addition to be easier and clearer to the reader, they are easier for other reasons too!

#### <span style="text-decoration: underline;">How do I use the new email account ?</span>

Follow the instructions in [How to setup email sending in Gmail](https://holocron.saberguild.org/books/public-tech-ops/page/how-to-setup-email-sending-in-gmail "How to setup email sending in Gmail") and [How to setup email receiving in Gmail](https://holocron.saberguild.org/books/public-tech-ops/page/deprecated-how-to-setup-email-receiving-in-gmail "How to setup email receiving in Gmail")

#### <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I have a different email client I want to use, what is the information I need ?</span>

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">**Using SSL / TLS** </span>
