Hi,
I have created a mail merge document and would like to send it to all recipients by email. I use gmail so set up the smtp server as smtp.gmail.com and the port number as 587. I ticked the “use secure connection (TLS/SSL)” box and tested settings. Both establish network connection and find outgoing mail server were successful. Do I have to set up the server authentication?
Grateful for any help.
Kind regards
Teresa
In my experience with Java, if you’re going to do anything on a Google server, you’re going to need to have your oAuth 2.0 established. This means that you’ll put a credential somewhere in your program resources and have to find a way to pass that to the Google server. Normally you look for example code from Google for whatever language you’re using.
You may have to allow access to your mailbox by “less secure programs” in your gmail-settings. I remember this for my access with Thunderbird, years ago…
