Gmail discontinued their mail fetcher. We bring it back.

Import emails to Gmail from any mail server

MailPorter connects to your POP3 or IMAP account and imports your emails directly into Gmail. With an upgrade pack, new emails arrive in realtime via IMAP IDLE - or every 5 minutes as a fallback. Free accounts sync every 30 minutes. Set up takes about two minutes.

How MailPorter helps

We built MailPorter to be a secure, straightforward way to consolidate your email without giving up control of your data.

Write-only access

We can only add emails to your Gmail - we can't read, search, or delete anything that's already there.

Encrypted credentials

Your mail server password is encrypted before we store it, and we use OAuth for Gmail so we never see your Google password.

Direct API import

Emails go straight to Gmail through the official API. No forwarding relay that might trigger spam filters or modify headers.

Works with any server

If your email provider supports POP3 or IMAP (and most do), MailPorter can import from it - Yahoo, Outlook, corporate servers, self-hosted, you name it.

Realtime (or every 5 minutes)

Upgrade pack users get realtime imports via IMAP IDLE - emails arrive in Gmail within seconds. If your server doesn't support IDLE, we fall back to polling every 5 minutes. Free accounts sync every 30 minutes.

Free to start

The free plan includes one sync job with unlimited emails, syncing every 30 minutes. Upgrade for realtime imports, on-demand sync, and 10 extra sync jobs - just €20/year.

Getting started is simple

You can be up and running in just a few minutes. Here's how it works:

Sign in with Google

We'll ask for permission to add emails to your Gmail. That's the only access we need - we can't read what's already in your inbox.

Connect your mail server

Enter your POP3 or IMAP server details. If you're using a common provider like Yahoo or Outlook, we can auto-detect most of the settings.

Let it run

MailPorter starts importing your emails immediately and keeps checking for new ones on a schedule. You don't need to do anything else.
