What's the right way to send email using a gmail account? I only see this one thread
from ten years ago and it looks like they abandoned gmail and went with a different
server.

To make matters even harder, I do have two factor authentication.

ph_sendsmtpemail("smtp.gmail.com", 465, "{EMAIL}", "
{EMAIL_DEFAULT}", "Back Door Open", "Back door open @
"+string(today()))

variable EMAIL
myemail@gmail.com,myemail,mypassword

Email_default variable is basicly TO email, where phone
alert and email used and to sent to multiple emails, so
something like this

123456789@tmomail.net;email1@gmail.com;email2@gmail.com

also you may need to make changes on gmail account side
so third party server can send email

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255

for that reason I have used different email for power
home.
