ChainMail is a brand-new app going through Google's standard verification process. You'll see one extra screen during first sign-in — here's what to do:

1

You'll see a "This app isn't verified" screen

Every new app gets this during Google's review period. It means we're new, not that anything is wrong.

2

Click "Advanced" then "Go to ChainMail"

This is a standard Google screen. Once we're approved, it goes away.

3

Grant the requested permissions

ChainMail asks for Gmail access permissions — the same scopes documented in our Privacy Policy. Review them and click "Allow".

Is ChainMail safe?

Yes. ChainMail is local-first — your emails are cached on your computer and never sent to our servers. The "unverified app" warning is a standard Google screen for any new app. See our Privacy Policy for details.

How long until I can sign in?

We add new users within a few hours. You'll get an email confirmation when you're set up. In the meantime, download the app so it's ready to go.

Can I use a Google Workspace account?

Yes, as long as your Workspace admin allows third-party app access. Enter your Workspace email in the form above.

I got an "access blocked" error

This means your email hasn't been added yet, or it's been less than 24 hours. If it's been longer, email us at admin@chainmail.online.
