Set up Norton Safe Email

Norton Safe Email helps protect up to five email addresses against phishing emails and malicious attachments. Its cloud-based technology flags emails as safe or potentially suspicious before you open them.

Google has changed its policies for applications listed under the "email reporting and monitoring" categories. To protect your account, you will need to renew Gmail access every six months.

Under Protected Email Accounts, you will see a "Renew Permissions" tab to complete the process.
