Interactive step-by-step guide for setting up your email app
Transition your email, calendar and contacts to a supported app
Notice
Effective

, Google will be disabling legacy applications for Email, Calendar and Contacts, which are referred to as Less Secure Applications (LSA). Services will only be accessible through modern, up-to-date applications that support OAuth (open authentication). To ensure you have continued access to your services, please follow the steps outlined below if applicable.
Overview
If you are using a third-party application that accesses your TELUS Email account or third-party Calendar/Contacts apps with only a username and password, we have provided steps below on how to switch to OAuth. Switching to OAuth will protect your account against hackers and hijacking attempts.
Email applications
Calendar applications
If you use an app that uses password-based
CalDAV
to give access to your calendar, please switch to a method that supports OAuth. We recommend the Google Calendar (app web or mobile app) as the most secure app to use with your Google Workspace account.
If your Google Workspace account is linked to the calendar app in iOS or MacOS and uses only a password to log in, you’ll need to remove and re-add your account to your device. When you add it back, select
Sign in with Google
to automatically use OAuth.
Contacts applications
If your Google Workspace account is syncing contacts to iOS or MacOS via
CardDAV
and uses only a password to log in, you’ll need to remove your account. When you add it back, select
Sign in with Google
to automatically use OAuth.
If your Google Workspace account is syncing contacts to any other platform or app via
CardDAV
and uses only a password to log in, please switch to a method that supports OAuth.
