Gmail connector versions
Gmail offers two connector versions to meet different configuration needs:
Latest Gmail connector (Recommended)

The latest connector provides improved accuracy. We recommend using the latest connector for new implementations. The legacy connector remains available for customers requiring specific features not yet supported in the latest connector.
