 * Hello
    I have no idea if this is the plugin or gmail, but i will start here.
 * I’ve setup the plugin and it was working/sending emails etc etc, then after a
   few weeks its now not sending and coming up with SMTP INBOUND: 535-5.7.8 Username
   and password not accept.
    I dont understand why its doing this when the details
   have not been changed, nothing has been altered and this is the 2nd time its 
   happened.
 * Do you have any ideas?
