    Things to consider when using Gmail

    Use caution when using third-party apps or devices with Gmail: As of 30 May 2022, Google no longer allows users to log in to their Google accounts via third-party apps, unless you have Google Workspace or Google Cloudy Identity. Please note that Google does not automatically allow you to use direct SMTP in Gmail. If you want to link a Gmail account, you must first go to your Google account and open Security > Access via less secure apps > Disable access (recommended). There, enable the option Allow less secure apps by switching it to ON. For further information, please see: Access to your Google account via less secure apps
    Please note: Please ensure that you are signed in with the correct Google account when using the direct link to the settings in your Google account.
