This video will show you how to sign in to your new Google Connect Account and move your
mail from Lotus Notes to your new account.
To start, when you first get your new account, you will receive an email telling you your
new username, email address, and temporary password. This email will also include a link
to the page to sign in for your first time.
Make a quick note of your username and the temporary password, with the correct upper
and lower case letters, as you'll need it to sign in your first time.
Click on the link to open the sign in page.
In the username field, type your username from the email.
In the password field, type your temporary password from the email, being sure to use
upper and lowercase letters exactly as in the email.
Then click Sign in.
This first time you access your account, you'll then see the new account welcome page. Read
through this information, and then click I accept. Continue to my account.
Also the first time you sign in, you'll next need to reset your password. Retype the temporary
password from the email in the Current password box. Then, create a new password and type
it in the new password box.
The meter to the right will indicate whether your password is too short or weak. Be sure
your password indicates Strong, and then retype this password in the Re-enter password box
and click Submit.
On the next screen, click on Gmail to access your mail.
In your new mail account you need to access settings. To do so, click on the gear in the
top right corner
and then select settings.
In settings, click on Forwarding and POP/IMAP.

Google Connect Account.
In your Google Connect inbox, click the refresh button, and the messages you moved will appear.
In the list of the left, click on the new folder you added, click the refresh button,
and the messages you moved there will appear, too.
