Gmail testing

Gmail testing

Gmail is in limited testing. You do not need to—and should not—type your Google password into Orvia Mail.

Limited testing seats

Gmail support is currently in beta with limited testing seats. Plus annual subscriptions and valid Classic Licenses each receive one admission; monthly members can keep an already-bound Gmail but cannot start a new one during the beta.

Use the official Google authorization page

When you add Gmail, Orvia Mail opens the Google authorization page. You sign in with Google and approve access there; Orvia Mail receives only the tokens needed for mail access.

Manual Step: Bypassing Google “Unverified App” Warning

Because Gmail support is currently in limited beta, our Google App Verification is still in progress. During sign-in, Google displays a red warning screen: “Google hasn’t verified this app”. Don’t panic—this is standard for all apps in testing. Follow the steps below:

  1. Do NOT click the big blue “Back to Safety” button (which cancels the authorization flow).
  2. Click the small “Advanced” link on the left to expand hidden options.
  3. At the bottom of the expanded section, click the small link “Go to Orvia (unsafe)”.
  4. Check the required mail permissions on the next screen and confirm to complete setup.

Privacy Note: Orvia remains strictly local-first. Your password is never stored, and email is transferred directly to Gmail without passing through intermediate servers.

Access is used for mail client features

Authorization supports syncing, searching, reading, replying, archiving, and sending Gmail. Orvia Mail does not store your Google password locally.

You can revoke access in your Google Account

If you stop using Orvia Mail, open your Google Account third-party app access settings and revoke Orvia Mail access.

Mail is not proxied through Orvia Mail

Orvia Mail communicates directly with Gmail. Gmail support is currently in beta, and some cloud AI features may be temporarily unavailable.
