 * I am trying to use a different email address, but Google won’t let me authenticate
   it. I get this message:
 * Error 403: access_denied
    The developer hasn’t given you access to this app. 
   It’s currently being tested and it hasn’t been verified by Google. If you think
   you should have access, contact the developer…
 * Can anyone help with this, please?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi [@justinbrooke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justinbrooke/),
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * Within your Google Console project, head over to the **OAuth Consent** screen
   section, and then publish your app.
 * Then try creating the Gmail mailer connection again by head over to the **WP 
   Mail SMTP -> Settings** area, and it should work.
 * In case it helps, you can please follow [this step](https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/how-to-set-up-the-gmail-mailer-in-wp-mail-smtp/#from-testing-to-production).
 * I hope this helps! 🙂
