Add MOEC Email to Sycamore
Note: Google utilizes pop-up windows for account settings. You will need to enable pop-ups if you haven’t already.
Step 1 : Log in to your new email account! Click the link you received for your account and go to Step 2.
If you need to enter your account manually, open a new tab or window in your browser. You will be using the site accounts.google.com to log in, so if you already have a Gmail account you can log in, then select your user icon in the top right of your browser and select “Add another account.”
Enter your FULL Mighty Oaks email address then select “Next.”
Enter your password then select “Next.”
Step 2 : Your Mighty Oaks email is administered by Mighty Oaks. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select “I understand” then create a new password on the next screen. Your password will need to satisfy Google’s security requirements.
Step 3 : If you aren’t using your account in Sycamore, you are done! If you would like to add your account to Sycamore, keep reading!
With your MOEC email account open, click on your user icon in the top right of the window, then select “Manage your Google Account.”
In your account management page, click on “Security” in the left sidebar menu.
Scroll down to the “How you sign in to Google” section and click on “2-Step Verification” then click the big blue button “Turn on 2-Step Verification.”
Enter your phone number, select how you would like to receive the verification code, then select “Next.” Upon receiving the code, enter it in the “Verify this phone number” window and click “Verify.”
A window will pop up showing that your number has been verified. Click the blue button “Done” then click on the left arrow at the top of the page to go back to your security settings. Then click on “2-Step Verification” again.
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the window. You will see a section labeled “App passwords.” Click on the App password selection (or little right arrow head) to add an app.
In the new window enter a name you will recognize like “Sycamore” then click on “Create.” A window will pop up with a code. Select and copy the code (paste it into a temp document or write it down “just in case”).
Step 4 : Add your email account to Sycamore! Open a new window or tab, and log in to your Sycamore account. Make sure you get the School ID correct (3793)!
On your homepage, scroll down to get to the bottom of the left sidebar. Click on “Email” then click on “Accounts.”
In the Accounts window, click the “New Account” button in the top right of the window, then enter the property fields like the image, substituting YOUR email account. IMPORTANT! Do NOT add your email password. Paste the app password you just copied at the end of Step 3 in the Password field. If you add your email password your account will NOT work. Then copy and paste from the following:
| IMAP Server Server: imap.gmail.com Port: 993 Security: SSL | SMTP Server Server: smtp.gmail.com Port: 587 Security: TLS |
Click the “Add” button, then close the pop up window. You should see your new account listed. Click on the “Inbox” selection in the sidebar and verify that your account is working.
