 * All of the sudden I am getting the following error from the plugin:
 *     ```
       Mailer: Gmail
       {
         "error": "invalid_grant",
         "error_description": "Bad Request”
       }
       ```
   
 * It appears that google updated their standards for using the gmail API, and is
   now requiring verification of a privacy policy before activating the API. Could
   you provide documentation on how to accomplish this given the new API console
   rules?
