Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Web357 SMTP Connect for Gmail

By default, WordPress sends emails via the PHP mail() function from your hosting server, which often ends up in the spam folder or gets dropped entirely. Sending through Gmail means your emails go out from a real, authenticated mailbox using secure OAuth 2.0, dramatically improving deliverability.

No. The plugin uses Google's modern OAuth 2.0 flow. You connect your Google account once through a secure consent screen: no app passwords, no plain-text credentials stored anywhere on your site.

Yes. The plugin supports both personal Gmail accounts (@gmail.com) and Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) mailboxes. Just connect the account you want to send from.

No. Once the plugin is activated and authenticated, it handles all outgoing email automatically. You do not need PHP mailer constants or a second SMTP plugin. See the FAQ.

All outgoing emails are sent from the Gmail address you authenticated with (the OAuth User Email). You can change the display name via From Name (PRO), but Google's anti-spoofing rules require the From address to match the connected Google account. See the configuration guide.

Yes. The plugin routes every wp_mail() call through Gmail, so every email triggered by WooCommerce (order confirmations, receipts, low-stock alerts), Contact Form 7, WPForms, Fluent Forms, Gravity Forms, MemberPress, LearnDash, and any other plugin is automatically delivered via your Gmail mailbox.

Yes. The plugin includes a built-in Test Email tool that sends a real test message right from the admin. The PRO version adds Mail Staging Mode, which logs all emails to the database without actually sending them, ideal for staging and development environments. See Configuration and Advanced Configuration.

The PRO version adds a Mail Log tab in the plugin settings where you can review every email (sent, failed, or staged), including recipients, subject, body, status, and timestamp. See the Mail Log documentation.

The PRO version adds a Mail Throttle setting in the Advanced tab to limit emails per minute. This protects you from hitting Gmail's sending limits and from runaway email loops if a plugin starts misbehaving. Details are in Advanced Configuration.

The button appears only after you have entered and saved both the Client ID and Client Secret. Paste the values from Google Cloud Console, click Save Settings, then authenticate. Full steps are in the configuration guide.
