Hi all!

I have some odd issue,

I set up my Gmail web connection like describe in here, test it, and everything's is good.

But when I want to use this connection in Emailer, it doesn't give the option to choose this Gmail web connection, and it ask me to set up new and regular one, which fails with Google error 401: disabled_client.

Can anyone help me?

how can I force 'emailer' to take the right Gmail connection?

Thanks!

I can't help you with your concrete issue, but my experience with using Gmail as a mail server has not been very good over the years. Google has a tendency to change stuff on their end that breaks the functionality, usually without prior notice.

My recommendation would be to contact your ISP or your IT department and ask for credentials to a regular SMTP server, in my experience this is fairly easy to justify and also very cost effective.
