So if I am connecting to my Gmail on my iPhone via the "Microsoft Exchange" option and using an app password I will still be OK?
The reason I still connect via the "Microsoft Exchange" option instead of picking the "Google" option in Apple's Mail.app is because I get Push notification for my Gmail when using the "Microsoft Exchange" option compared to only having the Fetch option available for the "Google" option.
After reading more carefully, I guess my method is done for.
"As part of this change, Google Sync will also be sunsetted:
Beginning June 15, 2024: New users will not be able to connect to Google Workspace via Google Sync."
"September 30, 2024: Existing Google Sync users will not be able to connect to Google Workspace. Here is how you can transition your organization off Google Sync. To find Google Sync usage in your organization, please go to the Admin Console, navigate to Devices > Mobile & Endpoints > Devices, and filter by Type: Google Sync."
That really sucks, I prefer the Mail.app to the third party Gmail app and I liked push notification e-mail compared to Fetch on a 15 minute timer. Why can't google do Push notifications through Mail.app yet?
- DamnableNook 3y agoThe limitations and clearly second-tiering of the Exchange connector are what pushed me to move away from Google Workspaces last year. I settled on Fastmail, precisely because they support Push in iOS Mail.app. From my research, they are one of the very few who support the imap extensions required to do that. Have been very happy with them so far, they support all my workflows, and do so a lot better than Gmail.
