Gmail Connect

Gmail on the Corsair XENEON EDGE

Read it, answer it, clear it — without touching your main screen. Gmail Connect puts your real inbox on the EDGE's touchscreen: conversations on the left, the whole thread on the right, and one tap between you and a reply.

Your actual inboxThreads, not fragments. Inbox, Unread, Starred, Sent and All mail, plus real Gmail search syntax.
Answer from the panelReply, reply-all, forward and compose, with recipients and quoted text filled in for you.
One-tap actionsStar, archive, mark unread, report spam or delete — with an undo on anything that moves.
New mail, announcedA banner slides in with the sender and subject, then gets out of the way.

How signing in works

Google will not sign anyone in on a panel like the EDGE, so your phone does it instead.

  1. The widget draws a QR code on the EDGE.
  2. You scan it and approve with Google, in your phone's normal browser.
  3. The key comes back to the panel encrypted, and the inbox opens.

The key is encrypted with a secret that exists only on the EDGE's screen and in the phone that looked at it, so nothing in between can read it — including us.

What it accesses

One Google permission: gmail.modify — read your messages, change their labels, and send mail you write in the widget. Nothing else: not your contacts, not your calendar, not your Drive.

After sign-in the widget talks to Google directly from your device. Your mail is never routed through a server of ours, because there isn't one. See the Privacy Policy for the full detail.
