Desktop/Laptop Setup

These instructions cover how to access the @burtonleander.com email account on a Windows PC or Mac laptop/desktop.

Web Access

Accessing your email through a web browser is the most reliable way to use all features of Google Workspace.

1. Go to Gmail

• Open your preferred web browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox) and go to:

https://email.burtonleander.com

• You may want to bookmark this page for easy access.

2. Sign In

• Enter your full club email address:

firstname.lastname@burtonleander.com

• Make sure you are using the password you set during the initial activation.

3. Switching Accounts

• If you already use Gmail and are signed into a personal Google account:

  • click your Profile Picture or Initial in the top-right corner

  • and then select Add another account.

• This allows you to easily switch between your personal and club accounts without signing out.

Setting Up in Local Desktop Clients (Optional)

If you prefer to manage your email using a separate email application like Microsoft Outlook (Windows) or Apple Mail (Mac), you must set up the account as a Google account using the IMAP protocol.

General Setup for Local Clients (Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.)

1. Open your Mail Application (e.g., Outlook, Apple Mail).

2. Go to the "Add Account" or "Accounts" section in the settings.

3. Select the option to add a Google or Gmail account (most modern clients have a dedicated option for this).

4. Enter your full new club email address: 

firstname.lastname@burtonleander.com

5. You will be redirected to the secure Google sign-in page. Sign in using your password.

6. You will be prompted to grant the mail client permission to access your Google Mail account. Click Allow or Accept.

Note: Do NOT select POP3. For desktop clients, you should always choose IMAP to ensure your emails and folders sync correctly across your phone, laptop, and the web browser.
