About This Feature
Overview
WPS Sign In helps you access the mailbox service from the WPS Collaboration workspace on macOS. After you open the workspace, you can select the Mail icon to enter the mailbox. If your account has already been assigned mailbox access, the system signs you in automatically without asking you to enter a password again.
Core tasks in this guide include:
- Opening the WPS Collaboration workspace and locating the Mail entry.
- Opening the mailbox interface from the workspace.
- Signing in automatically with an assigned mailbox account.
This workflow is useful for users who need faster email access inside a collaboration environment and want fewer repeated sign-in steps.

| Capability Summary | In the WPS Collaboration workspace, you can select the Mail icon to enter the mailbox, and assigned accounts can sign in automatically without extra password setup. | Outlook on the web lets users sign in with a work or school account in a browser, usually by entering an email address, password, and any required verification steps. | Gmail lets users sign in with a Google Account by entering an email address or phone number and password before opening the inbox. | Notion Mail is available on Mac, web, and iOS, and requires a Notion account plus a Gmail or Google Workspace account connected to that Notion account. | Acrobat Sign lets users access the service from a public login page or a custom organization URL, then continue with the authentication method configured for the account. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: For users with an assigned mailbox account, WPS can open mail directly from the collaboration workspace and complete sign-in automatically in fewer steps. | Compared with WPS: The official flow focuses on manual credential entry and verification prompts. | Compared with WPS: A standard Google Account sign-in flow is required. | Compared with WPS: Access depends on both a Notion account and a Gmail-connected setup. | Compared with WPS: The login flow is oriented to account authentication for signing services and may involve additional identity methods. |

Overall Conclusion
If you already work inside the WPS Collaboration environment, WPS provides a shorter path to mailbox access for assigned accounts. Other products also provide official sign-in flows, but they usually require separate account entry or additional account prerequisites.
