Overview
Jace runs on top of Gmail. When you connect your account, we keep mail and key settings in sync so you can continue working in Jace without losing your existing workflow.

What syncs
- Labels: Your existing Gmail labels are imported and kept in sync. Manage labels in Settings → Labels — open in app.
- Send‑as & signature: We sync your default from address and Gmail signature so drafts use your identity. Sync or update in Settings → Signature & time zone — open in app.
- Contacts & names: We pull names from Gmail/Google Contacts so people appear as expected in Jace.
Notes:
- Edits to labels in Gmail (rename/color) are reflected in Jace; applying/removing labels on threads syncs near‑instantly.
- If you update your signature or time zone in Google, click “Synchronize Gmail signature and timezone” in Jace to refresh.
Import timeline
To get you productive fast, Jace imports in stages:
- Recent, important mail first (Primary‑like)
- Last 90 days
- Last 1 year
- Up to 3 years
You can use Jace while import runs in the background. New mail arrives in real time.
Tips:
- Avoid very large bulk actions during import (thousands of threads at once). Prefer smaller batches or run them overnight.
- If something looks missing, see Missing threads.
Filters and inbox behavior
- Existing Gmail filters continue to run in Gmail. Their results (labels, archiving, etc.) are reflected in Jace after sync.
- Jace provides default views (Needs reply, Waiting, FYI, Promotions) to help you triage. Adjust views in Settings → Sidebar — open in app.
Drafts and replies
When you request a draft, Jace creates/updates a Gmail draft for you to review and send. Drafts you create in Jace appear in both Jace and Gmail, and edits in either place stay in sync. For follow‑ups, Jace can prepare a draft after a delay if you enable that workflow.
