 * Eventually got this to work – the problem was the ‘Authorized Redirect URI’. 
   Setting up the GMail API permissions with OAuth is difficult and the help for
   this plugin might need to be a bit more clear about the ‘Authorized Redirect 
   URI’. Also user feedback on the help file shows that others have had this problem
   hence this comment.
 * If you are setting up OAuth make sure you get the Authorized Redirect URI given
   by the plugin registered on Google otherwise you will lose a lot of time as I
   did.

      Reason: My response was a bit unfair, good plugin but difficult to set up 
      if you are not familiar with OAuth

 * This is not the place to promote the WP Mail SMTP plugin. It’s clearly explained
   in the documentation that you need to copy the URL shown in the setting and paste
   into the ‘Authorized Redirect URI’ field.

 * Agree with [@naa986](https://wordpress.org/support/users/naa986/).
 * The plugin came with full instructions.
 * The user [@clinton101](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clinton101/) doesn’t
   know how to properly implement all the steps.
