idoc 413 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Is there a difference between forwarding a Gmail directly to Evernote, as opposed to using the Gmail add in? The add in seems to take considerably longer to load but gives you some additional options which I never use anyway. Sometimes I notice that the gmail arrives in Evernote in a different way depending on which of the two methods I use. I may be mistaken about this. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,835 Posted August 10, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Personally I don't use Gmail, so from my understanding of what I learned elsewhere: Forwarding an email works through a mail server. AFAIK there is one server attached to approximately 10 user accounts. Forwarding through the add in is working through the EN API, similar to the web clipper. Link to comment

Evernote Expert agsteele 3,061 Posted August 11, 2023 Evernote Expert Share Posted August 11, 2023 The add-on is more like a clipper. Designed to work directly with the Gmail web interface and reproducing layout etc. The forward to Email is simply attaching an Email into your notebook. Link to comment
laurence.glazier 147 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 There may be a difference as to whether attachments are included when it lands up in Evernote. I find the add-in is slower. But it doesn't include email headers (like "Forwarded message"). So I have used both. Link to comment
