No more "check mail from other accounts" in Gmail web

Re:No more "check mail from other accounts" in Gmail web by sixhobbits on Wednesday October 01, 2025 @03:23PM (#45442096)

I use exactly this on my personal (free) and work (paid workspace) accounts. I got an official notification from Google that one member in my workspace (me) has used the feature in the last 30 days and will be affected. I didn't (yet) get a notification on my personal account.

I also rely pretty heavily on this feature for a few very low traffic domains that I need but only have super set up on super clunky web mail, so I guess I'm in the market for a new mail client :(

Maybe you can automatically forward mails from that domain to Gmail and find a way to label them.

At worst you can write a mail client to do that by logging in, listing mails, mailing them to you and keeping track of what it already sent (sqlite?) They are very well known protocols with plenty of implementations, so probably a LLM can write the code with not much guidance.

Good luck getting consistent delivery to Gmail. Even Cloudflare's email forwarding keeps getting blocked / marked as spam.

Which is hilarious considering they can't seem to stop obvious spam from hitting my inbox

I essentially have only forwarded email in my gmail from my personal domain, and it has never been a problem for me.

I switched from Google workspace to zoho.com Zoho is dirt cheap and has great tools to import all my mail, contacts and calendar data.

You could just set them up to forward to gmail instead. Even if you don't have a server to do this, you could use eg. Cloudflare email forwarding.

I run Mailcast.io which you can use to forward email on your domains to your personal Gmail account without setting up any new email client
