 * I’m having trouble getting Postman SMTP to work properly. MY client uses Google
   business accounts for her email, so I had great hopes that Postman would work.
   It probably does and I’ve just mucked it up. I’m getting this error from Google.
 * 400. That’s an error.
 * Error: invalid_scope
 * You don’t have permission to access some scopes. Your project is trying to access
   scopes that need to go through the verification process. {invalid = [https://
   mail.google.com/]} If you need to use one of these scopes, submit a verification
   request.

 * That’s all we know.

   out why it’s not working?
 * Thank you,
