Sending mail via Gmail SMTP

Hello,

Sending mil via mozilla thunderbird is easy.

I want to send mail via a webdev site using a gmail account.

I See in the setting OAut2.

I can not find that in de windev language.

Is this supported.

Thanks
Willy Hermans

You don't need OAut2 to use the gmail smtp server.

In the sending gmail account you must activate the Allow less secure apps in the security settings.
In your webdev app just use the gmail SMTP server settings in the EmailStartSMTPSession function and send the email using the EmailSend function.
You can use other functions instead of EmailStartSMTPSession,EmailSend but the gmail settings are the same.

Be careful with the limits of gmail, it depends on your account but it has limits.

Gmail SMTP server settings:
Server: smtp.gmail.com
Encryption/Authentication: SSL
Port: 465
or
Server: smtp.gmail.com
Encryption/Authentication: StartTLS
Port: 587

Thank you very much.

After changing the settings of the email account, it works fine.

There is always a message to the recipients that it can be spam.

I think I have to live with it. The recipients knows it is not spam.

What is the sender you are using?
It's one address from gmail like my_app@gmail.com or from some other domain like my_app@my_app.com?

Normally if the SPF and DKIM records don't match you will endup in troubles.
