Sending Emails

Here are the settings for configuring an FME Flow Automation to send emails using the Gmail SMTP Server:
  • SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
  • SMTP Server Port: 465
  • SMTP Account: <your Gmail email address>
  • SMTP Password: <your Gmail password>
  • Connection Security: SSL/TLS
These settings, excluding your Gmail address and password, are preconfigured from Load Template > Gmail in the Email (send) external action details. 

If you are using 2-factor authentication with Google, you will also need to generate an app password and replace the SMTP password with the app password code. 

Receiving Emails

Here are the settings for configuring an FME Flow Automation to receive emails through an Email - IMAP trigger using the Gmail IMAP Server: 
  • IMAP Server Host: imap.gmail.com
  • IMAP Server Port: 993
  • IMAP Email Account: <your Gmail email address>
  • IMAP Email Password: <your Gmail password>
  • Connection Security: SSL/TLS
  • Verify SSL Certificate: Yes
Again, these settings are preconfigured from Load Template > Gmail in the Email - IMAP trigger. 

If you are using 2-factor authentication with Google, you will also need to generate an app password and replace the IMAP Email Password with the app password code. 

You will also need to use a Google Account with IMAP enabled for Gmail.
