scubes13 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I have been trying to setup our PS server to use Google Apps SMTP service. I have put in the SMTP server address (smtp.gmail.com), port 465, the account email address. I have also enabled TLS and added the password. I continue receiving an error during setup. Has anyone used Google Apps for email in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
support Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hi scubes13, Sorry we missed this post. We've been able to successfully send emails via gmail with the settings in the attached screenshot - obviously change the UserName and Password for your account.

support Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Update to this forum post....We've had a customer report issues to us recently, when using Google SMTP service to send out the emails. Google have now introduced some tighter security, and will deny "less secure" apps to use this service. You may get this error if testing an email from within Passwordstate: To resolve this error, please do the following: Sign into https://myaccount.google.com as the account you have specified in Passwordstate Click Connected Sites and Apps Turn "Allow Less Secure Apps" ON Retest your email settings inside Passwordstate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrishk Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 An even better option, IMO, is to use the Google SMTP Relay option. We set this up for printers/scanners that don't necessarily need to be tied to a specific user's account. https://support.google.com/a/answer/176600?hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathaniel Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Just an FYI for anyone using Gmail without a "work" account - If you have strong authentication turned up "less secure apps" isn't an option for you. I'm kinda stuck not being able to send email from passwordstate at the moment but I haven't set up MiTM & wireshark to review why TLS SMTP fails for me. I may just go this route however I have minimal RAM at the moment as this is in a VM running on my dinky ReadyNas RN312. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrishk Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 By "strong authentication" do you mean two-factor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathaniel Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Yes - either two-factor or "push to auth" option for gmail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
support Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Another update to this thread - If you want your emails to appear to be coming from some sort of a generic address, like support@yourdomain.com, then you should configure Gmail to be able to send as an alias: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en Hope this helps, Support.
