    After having gone though all the steps I finally arrived at the google authorazation button after which I get a 403 forbidden error.

    I saw a post earlier which pointed at two solutions:
    1. disbale mod_security
    2. add a rule in BPS security for whitelisting

    I have no access to mod_security so this option is out. I am using BPS security though, so would be good if the code needed is available somewhere.

    Also what would be good is if this was added to some sort of FAQ or a support article as Ive spent hours trying to figure out what the issue could be..

    I may try another plugin to see if I recieve the same problem as this plugin.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    To disable mod_security (or adjust its rules) you need to contact your hosting company.

    BPS security is most likely won’t help. But you can test by just disabling it completely for a couple of minutes, try to “Allow…” from WP Mail SMTP plugin admin area one more time, and after success – enable again. This will be needed to be done only once.
