Step 3: Configure Prolateral with Gmail
Now that you have the Gmail App Password, you can configure Prolateral to use it. Here's how:

- Username: Your Gmail address
- Password: The Gmail App Password you generated earlier
- Encryption: TLS
- Click "Save" to save the changes.
Step 4: Test the SMTP Relay
To test the SMTP relay, you can send a test email using Prolateral. Here's how:
- Log in to your Prolateral account.
- Go to the "Send" page.
- Enter the recipient's email address.
