Note - You can set it up on mobile Gmail application for iOS. I have done so to both send and receive email for multiple WorkMail accounts.

  1. Tap profile icon in top right
  2. Add another account
  3. Other (IMAP)
  4. Add username, password, etc. And see here for relevant IMAP and SMTP links

Because I was using us-east-1, my info was:

IMAP, 993, imap.mail.us-east-1.awsapps.com

SMTP, 465, smtp.mail.us-east-1.awsapps.com

  1. Assuming you WorkMail is correctly working by web interface you need to use SES.

    • From SES panel control select "SMTP Settings"
      → "Create My SMTP Credentials"
      → A window about creating user will show up, select 'Create'.
    • Select Show User SMTP Security Credentials, it will show you the SMTP Username and SMTP Password.

  2. From Gmail

    • Setting → Accounts and Import → Add another email address
    • A new yellow window will appear
      name: (the name you wish to display)
      email address: ([email protected])
      Alias checked!

  3. In the next page:

    • smtp server smtp.mail.(your-area).awsapps.com [ex: us-east-1]
      smtp username: ([email protected])
      smtp password: (your Workmail password)
      port: 465
      SSL checked.

A confirm mail will be send to ([email protected]), you can easily access by WorkMail web interface. Click the confirmation link and you will be finally able to send mail as ([email protected]) from Gmail.

In the end, if you wish to receive/redirect on your Gmail every mail sent to WorkMail, you need to create an action in WorkMail's Settings.

  • Settings → Email rules → New → Add a Rule name
    → When the message is sent to ... → Select recipient(s) ([email protected])
    → Redirect the message to ... → Select recipient(s) ([email protected])

※ Note: Email rules won't work for recipients in Bcc.

In this way you don't need POP3's setting. I hope this will help some people.

Unfortunately you can not because WorkMail doesn't support POP according to January 2019. Shame to AWS enter image description here
