How to allow mailing from gmail

To allow mailing from Gmail, you'll need to configure your email client or application to use Gmail's SMTP server. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Method 1: Using Gmail's SMTP Server

  1. Enable "Less secure app access": Go to your Google Account settings, then click on "Security" and toggle the switch next to "Less secure app access" to the "On" position. This will allow non-secure apps to access your account.
  2. Configure your email client or application: Set up your email client or application to use Gmail's SMTP server. The settings are:
    • Server: smtp.gmail.com
    • Port: 587 (or 465 for SSL/TLS)
    • Username: Your Gmail address (e.g., [email protected])
    • Password: Your Gmail password
    • Authentication: Use PLAIN or LOGIN authentication
  3. Verify your account: You may need to verify your account by entering a verification code sent to your phone or email.

Method 2: Using OAuth 2.0

  1. Enable "Less secure app access": Go to your Google Account settings, then click on "Security" and toggle the switch next to "Less secure app access" to the "On" position.
  2. Create a project in Google Cloud Console: Go to the Google Cloud Console and create a new project.
  3. Enable the Gmail API: In the sidebar, click on "APIs & Services" and search for "Gmail API". Click on the result, then click on the "Enable" button.
  4. Create credentials: Click on "Create Credentials" and select "OAuth client ID". Choose "Other" as the application type and enter a name for your client ID.
  5. Configure your email client or application: Set up your email client or application to use the OAuth 2.0 credentials. You'll need to provide the client ID, client secret, and authorization URL.
