1. Configure Your Gmail Settings ✅

• Enable IMAP

And don’t forget to hit Save changes. You’ve nailed step one! ✔️

2. Activate 2-Step Verification 🔐

• If you’re a Google Workspace admin, make sure to enforce 2-factor verification for your organization.
  For everyone else, ensure that 2-step verification is activated in your Google account. It’s a small step for big security!

3. Generate an App Password 🗝️

• Head over to your Google Account Security Settings. In the search bar, type App passwords. Enter 'Email' for the app name.

• Click Create and copy the password provided. This will replace your standard password for the SMTP and IMAP server setup.

4. Update Your Simply-B2B Account Settings 🛠️

• Now, let’s head back to your Simply-B2B account. Go to Settings ➡️ Email Settings
• Click on Add button and select Custom Gmail.

When you have chosen the Gmail Template and enter the following details:

• Username: Your Gmail address.
• Password: The app password you just generated.

The SMTP and IMAP details should be pre-filled in the form for you. Easy-peasy! 😎

⚠️ Important: If 2-step verification isn’t turned on yet, please activate it and then follow the steps above.
