HOW TO SET A GMAIL ACCOUNT TO SEND EMAILS THROUGH EVE MANAGER:

We recommend using this guide if you’ll utilize GMAIL IMAP settings to send emails from EVE Manager, this will allow the user to receive the emails without the “APP NOT SAFE” message from Google.

It’s mandatory before proceeding to use the 2-step verification on your account, please follow this guide.

To generate a new password for an email program to access your Gmail account through IMAP with two-step authentication enforced follow this example below:

  1. Click this link;
  2. Enter the the password page of your account by clicking this link and if login into the account, if asked;
  3. Add a new App name and hit Create. Once done a new password will be generated which you can add into the Email account component password:
Selecting the type of application to apply to the email account
Selecting the type of device to associate to the email account

Now you’ll finally have the new password to use inside Eve Manager with your Email account component.
