 * Hi, we were using the plugin without issue using SMTP and gmail settings. The
   plugin has updated and stopped working. I can now see that there are gmail settings
   specifically to add. We have added the key and ID but get the following. Also
   when we authorise using the reply URL the page returns to a 403 error even though
   it’s entered into the Google API. Any help os appreciated.
 * There was a problem while sending a test email. Related debugging output is shown
   below:
 * Versions:
    WordPress: 4.9.1 WordPress MS: No PHP: 7.0.25 WP Mail SMTP: 1.2.2
 * Params:
    Mailer: gmail Constants: No Client ID/Secret: Yes Auth Code: No Access
   Token: No
 * Server:
    OpenSSL: Yes PHP.allow_url_fopen: Yes PHP.stream_socket_client(): Yes
   PHP.fsockopen(): Yes PHP.curl_version(): Yes
 * Debug:
    Error while sending via Gmail mailer: { “error”: { “errors”: [ { “domain”:“
   global”, “reason”: “required”, “message”: “Login Required”, “locationType”: “
   header”, “location”: “Authorization” } ], “code”: 401, “message”: “Login Required”}}

   away no issues.

 * It was called GMAIL SMTP – I can post a link if you can’t find it.

 * **Regarding the “Login Required” error:**
 * Your FROM email address in plugin settings should be the same as the one you 
   have used to create a Google App in Console with Gmail API to get Client ID/Secret.
