 * Hi, my gmail password recently changed so I’ve created new api credentials to
   link to postman smtp. I finished the set up wizard, then clicked through to autorise
   with google which all went through OK. However I’m getting the below error when
   I do a test contact form entry. Do you know why this might be happening? I’ve
   waited a few minutes and it keeps happening. Hope you can help
 * Project 1068141079446 is not found and cannot be used for API calls. If it is
   recently created, enable Gmail API by visiting [https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/gmail.googleapis.com/overview?project=1068141079446](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/gmail.googleapis.com/overview?project=1068141079446)
   then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action
   to propagate to our systems and retry.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fapi-error-49%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I’ve heard of similar issues before for other API projects and the advice I saw
   back then was delete that API key and create a new one.
    Don’t bother trying 
   to get the API key you set up to try and work, it’s quicker to delete the key
   and start again.
 * Sometimes, the key doesn’t get create correctly, but this was years ago.
 * Whilst setting up the new key, make sure you set up the correct key type.
