trying to set up another email a gmail acct but get message from google says em client wants additional access to your google account.
The first 3 you would need to allow full access to your Gmail and Gmail Gontacts within eM Client. If you don’t allow those it won’t work properly.
to me it reads that emclient would have should i select these access to delete my emails and contacts, read and edit my emails.
When you click allow, “you are the only one that sees your email” and “you are the only one who can see and delete your emails & contacts” etc.
This is the same with any other email clients using a Google / Gmail account with the modern OAuth secure authentication login with Google accounts.
What are the 3 other items when you click allow ?
thanks for a quick response. 
the other three are 1. see, edit, create, and delete only specific google drive files you use with this app 2. see edit share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using google calendar 3. see and download your organizations gsuite directory. that last one: see and dl your organizations … ?? i don’t have an organization gsuite so guess would not check that one.
see if had a feeling i was not reading it right. but never know thanks
i did not have to do that with my hotmail account. so this was new to me.
- see, edit, create, and delete only specific google drive files you use with this app
I believe that is so if you eg: want to use your Google Drive space to send file attachments “via a link” rather than attaching files directly in the email, it then keeps the email size smaller when sending to recipients. This is useful if you are sending large file attachments where a recipient might not have a very big mailbox and they can then download the attachments via links to their hard-disk.
If you allow that option when adding the account after setting that up, eM Client creates a folder in your Google Drive called “eM Client Attachments” for that if you want to use that option.
See eM Client documentation below on Cloud attachments and what they are and how to setup.
- see edit share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using google calendar
If you want to be able to access your Google Calendar in eM Client, then you need to allow that.
- see and download your organizations gsuite directory. that last one: see and dl your organizations
As far as i know, that would be only if you are eg: part of a Google Domain Company Group, Or Company Organisation Group etc, to be able to see that same information within eM Client as your do online in your acct. So you could see in eM Client your Group Directory Contacts, Group Directory Contact Phone numbers , Group Directory Contact Email address’s etc.
thank you… thank you … i really appreciate all this info… so much very helpful…
