If you only send small amounts of e-mail, it is possible to use a Google Gmail server for your mailings when you use our e-mail delivery application MultiMailer<\/a>. However, some functions in MultiMailer are disabled because they require our built-in e-mail server to work, but using a Google Gmail server is in any case possible and may be suitable for small mailing lists. We will show below step-by-step how to do that:<\/p>\n

1. Activate two-step verification in your Google account<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe first thing you need to do is enable two-step verification in your Google account, if you haven’t already. It’s a relatively simple process, and below you’ll see what the steps are:<\/p>\n

Show steps<\/span>

\n1.<\/strong> Open your Google account. For example, by opening the website google.com<\/a> and then clicking on the round symbol at the top right. If you are not logged in, you must log in first. After you’ve logged in, you can click on the round symbol on the top right.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> A menu will now appear. Click there on the Manage your Google Account<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> A web page with options should now appear. There, click on the Security<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> At the Signing in to Google<\/strong> section, click on the 2-Step Verification<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Click the Get Started<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> Enter the password for your Google account.<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong> Enter a phone number to which Google will send a verification code (via SMS).<\/p>\n

8.<\/strong> Click Next<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

9.<\/strong> A verification code will now be sent via SMS to your phone. Enter it at Enter the code<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

10.<\/strong> Click Next<\/strong>. Then click Turn On<\/strong> to activate the function.
\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n

You have now activated two-step verification for your Google account (e.g. your Gmail account). In the next section, we will show you how to retrieve a username and password for MultiMailer.<\/p>\n

2. Get username and password from Google<\/span><\/strong>
\nNow you will get your username and a password for MultiMailer. The password is not the same one you use when you sign in to your Google account, but a different password that is created by Google at request. We will show below how to retrieve this password. The username for MultiMailer is the same as when you log in to your Google account.<\/p>\n

Show steps<\/span>

\n1.<\/strong> If you have the <-- 2-Step Verification<\/strong> option visible on the web page, click on it.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> The Security<\/strong> page should now appear. If not, open it.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Click on App passwords<\/strong> at Signing in to Google<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Enter your Google Account password again.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Click Select app<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> Select Other (custom name)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong> Enter MultiMailer<\/strong>.
\n\"Name
\n8.<\/strong> Click the Generate<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

9.<\/strong> A password will now appear in a window. Copy it off. Paste it into Notepad.
\n\"Password
\n10.<\/strong> Click on Done<\/strong> when you have done it.
\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Specify username and password in MultiMailer<\/span><\/strong>
\nNow you must enter the correct username and password in MultiMailer. To do that, do the following:<\/p>\n

Show steps<\/span>

\n1.<\/strong> Start MultiMailer if you haven’t already.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Select the menu item Options – E-mail Account Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Check the option Use e-mail server from my ISP or company<\/strong>.
\n\"Choose
\n4.<\/strong> Click the Settings<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> The Email Account Settings<\/strong> dialog box will now appear.<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> In the dialog box, click on the Server List<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong> Select the option Google: smtp.gmail.com (port 587)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

8.<\/strong> At Username<\/strong>, enter the username\/email address for your Google account.<\/p>\n

9.<\/strong> At Password<\/strong>, paste the password you received in the previous section (see point 9).
\n\"E-Mail
\n10.<\/strong> Click OK<\/strong> to close the dialog box. Click OK<\/strong> again.
\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n

Now you can use MultiMailer to send emails via your Google Gmail account. Note that Google has a limit on how many emails you can send per day. What the limit is depends on what kind of Google account you have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
