About This Feature

Overview

Other Email is a third-party mailbox connection feature in WPS Mail on macOS. It helps you bring different email services into one client so you can view and manage messages without switching between multiple apps.

Core capabilities include:

Enter protocol and server details for manual connection.
Manage messages from multiple accounts in one place.

This setup is useful for people who handle work and personal inboxes together, teams that process several business mailboxes, and users who want a more streamlined email workflow on Mac.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Lets you add a third-party mailbox in WPS Mail by entering the account, password or app password, protocol type, incoming server, and outgoing server, then manage multiple mailboxes in one client.	Outlook for Mac supports adding multiple email accounts, including Microsoft 365, Exchange, Google, and other IMAP or POP accounts.	The Gmail app supports adding another Gmail or non-Gmail account and offers an All inboxes view for multiple accounts.	Notion Mail supports adding another account, but its setup is centered on Gmail or Google Workspace accounts, and each Notion Mail account is tied to one email address.	Acrobat supports webmail integration for send-file workflows, including Gmail, Yahoo, or a custom webmail profile, but it is not a full multi-mailbox client.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS includes direct fields for protocol and server settings, which is useful for business or custom mail services that need manual configuration; the feature is available without membership.	Compared with WPS: Outlook also supports multiple accounts, but the flow is more centered on a guided account setup experience.	Compared with WPS: Gmail emphasizes app-based account addition and unified inbox viewing, while manual setup depends on provider IMAP details.	Compared with WPS: Notion Mail currently has narrower account coverage because it focuses on Gmail-connected accounts.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on file-sending integration rather than full mailbox management across multiple accounts.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Other Email is a practical fit when you want to connect third-party mailboxes on macOS and enter server details directly in one client. Outlook and Gmail also support multi-account workflows, while Adobe serves a different file-sharing scenario and Notion Mail currently has a narrower account scope.
