Importing mail from other mailboxes

1. Open settings.

2. Choose the mailbox to which you want to import messages.

3. Select Email importer.

4. Choose the mailbox from which you want to import messages: Mail.Ru or Outlook.

5. Choose an account or log in.

6. Grant Yandex access to the source mailbox. Yandex doesn't perform any actions with your email account without your consent.

7. When a connection to the other mailbox is established, the app will suggest adding a colored label to its messages. This is a way to automatically mark all imported emails so you can easily find them.

   You can add or edit the label later by following these instructions, but then it will be applied only to new messages.

8. Tap Import.

9. When the email importer is enabled, you'll see a notification. Tap OK.
   The mailbox will appear in the Connected accounts section of the email importer and under the list of folders and labels in the app. New messages may appear with a delay ranging from a few minutes to a few days. It depends on the mail server from which the messages are imported.

To import messages from Gmail, you need to create an app password in your Google account and then set up the email importer in your Yandex account.

1. Log in to your Google account.

2. Under How you sign in to Google, find the 2-Step Verification row. If it's off, turn it on. To do this, tap anywhere in the row and follow the prompts.

3. After you turn on two-factor authentication, go to the App passwords page.

4. Enter a name that will help you remember where the app password should be used. For example, "For email import".

5. Tap Create. A 16-digit password will appear. Copy it or save it somewhere safe.

   Note

   Google displays passwords with spaces after every four characters. Delete those spaces before you use your password. For example, instead of vvrp ylwk gkhh jymz, use vvrpylwkgkhhjymz.
