Send SMTP Email via Gmail

Just helped someone get this sorted and thought i woulds share. The trick was to allow Less Secure apps in your account. Here is the link

https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps?pli=1

Turn it on and then just use the normal CDO code.

Dim oEmail, sEmailFrom, sEmailTo, sEmailSubject, sEmailBody,sBCC

' Send email

sEmailTo = "admin@SmarterDimensions.com"
sEmailFrom = "FromAddress@SmarterDimensions.com"
sEmailSubject = "Email Subject"
sEmailBody = "Email Body this is bold"
sBCC = "SmarterDimensions@live.com.au"


Set oEmail      = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

With oEmail
 With .Configuration.Fields
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl"] = True
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver"] = "smtp.gmail.com"
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing"] = 2
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername"] = "douglas.porton@gmail.com"
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword"] = "xxxxxxxxxxx"	
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport"] = 465
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout"] = 60
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate"] = 1	
  .Update()		
 End With
End With	

    
oEmail.From     = sEmailFrom
oEmail.To       = sEmailTo
oEmail.BCC      = sBCC
oEmail.Subject  = sEmailSubject
oEmail.HTMLBody = sEmailBody

oEmail.Send()

set oEmail = Null
