Normally, Method will send out email for you. However, if you'd prefer to have Method use your Gmail Server to send email, this article will outline how to set up Gmail as your email server.
Notes when using Microsoft as your custom email server:
Email sent from Method using your Gmail custom email server will show up in your sent email box.
All emails will appear to come from the associated inbox. If you would like a different address to appear as the reply-to, you'll need to set the sender server to be different from the account default.
Configuring Gmail as an Email Server
In Gmail, you will need to enable 2-Step Verification and generate an app password. Please see our article Authorize Gmail Email Settings.
In Method, click your Profile icon in the upper-right and then click Account Settings.
Select Communication.
Within the Email settings, by the Email section, select Setup my own custom server.
This will show Customer server settings. For the company email server, select the Google option.
A new window will pop up and you will need to go through the normal authentication with Gmail (which consists of more screens than shown below).
Once authenticated, the page will show that Gmail is set up as your email provider.
Click the Test button to send a test email to see if the server is working.
