Email documents using Google Mail

How to email documents using your Google Mail account from Sage 50 Accounts, Sage 50 Payroll and Sage 50 P11D.

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) allows you to integrate your email account between different pieces of software.

Many email providers have increased security by ending support for basic authentication. For example, they've made 2-factor authentication mandatory.

To send emails from your software after your provider ends support for basic authentication, you need to change your settings.

Gmail accounts allow you to create an 'App password' that you can use to continue using SMTP email in your Sage software.

1. Go to myaccount.Google.com.
2. Enter your password if prompted.
3. Enter a name for the app, for example, Sage, then select Create.   

Google will then create a unique password to allow an app to use the email functionality of your Gmail account.

Then follow the steps in our use webmail to email documents article to update your SMTP settings to include this password and finish setting up.
