The rules for sending emails on Gmail from an external mailer have changed. Can anyone tell me what the new rules are for sending emails from PureBasic using a Gmail account?
Thanks in advance.

In addition, you must authorise foreign mail programs.
Otherwise, only certified mail programs will be authorised.

Hmm, my app still sends mail from my Gmail account without issue. You have to use an app password, though (you can't use your normal Gmail password). Also, SSL/TLS must be 1, with port 587. Use smtp.gmail.com for the server. Works perfectly for me.loulou2522 wrote: Wed Sep 17, 2025 4:31 pmThe rules for sending emails on Gmail from an external mailer have changed.
@mk-soft: I don't think you need to authorise your app, because I haven't.
