1. Assuming you WorkMail is correctly working by web interface you need to use SES.

    • From SES panel control select "SMTP Settings"
      โ†’ "Create My SMTP Credentials"
      โ†’ A window about creating user will show up, select 'Create'.
    • Select Show User SMTP Security Credentials, it will show you the SMTP Username and SMTP Password.

  2. From Gmail

    • Setting โ†’ Accounts and Import โ†’ Add another email address
    • A new yellow window will appear
      name: (the name you wish to display)
      email address: ([email protected])
      Alias checked!

  3. In the next page:

    • smtp server smtp.mail.(your-area).awsapps.com [ex: us-east-1]
      smtp username: ([email protected])
      smtp password: (your Workmail password)
      port: 465
      SSL checked.

A confirm mail will be send to ([email protected]), you can easily access by WorkMail web interface. Click the confirmation link and you will be finally able to send mail as ([email protected]) from Gmail.

In the end, if you wish to receive/redirect on your Gmail every mail sent to WorkMail, you need to create an action in WorkMail's Settings.

  • Settings โ†’ Email rules โ†’ New โ†’ Add a Rule name
    โ†’ When the message is sent to ... โ†’ Select recipient(s) ([email protected])
    โ†’ Redirect the message to ... โ†’ Select recipient(s) ([email protected])

โ€ป Note: Email rules won't work for recipients in Bcc.

In this way you don't need POP3's setting. I hope this will help some people.

Unfortunately you can not because WorkMail doesn't support POP according to January 2019. Shame to AWS
