Email server settings for Gmail users

Updated over a week ago

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.

Note: If you set up your email server to use Gmail, email sent from Method will show up in your sent email box.


Configuring Gmail as an Email Server

  1. In Gmail, you will need to enable 2-Step Verification and generate an app password. Please see our article Authorize Gmail Email Settings.

  2. In Method, click your Profile icon in the upper-right and then click Account Settings.

  3. Select Communication.

  4. Within the Email settings, by the Email section, select Setup my own custom server.

  5. This will show Customer server settings. For the company email server, select the Google option.

  6. 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).

  7. Once authenticated, the page will show that Gmail is set up as your email provider.

  8. Click the Test button to send a test email to see if the server is working.
