SMTP worker, Gmail, and oAuth

[Paul Mulroney]

Hi Joe,

The OAUTH scope we use on our Google project is ".../auth/gmail.compose". For the $scope property of the OAUTH2 Worker, we use "https://mail.google.com/".

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Paul.

I wonder if my scope is wrong, I am using the scope from my HTML post worker which connects and sends email just fine.  But I thought I'd try to migrate to the SMTP object for things like mail shot and the like.  Anyway, the scope I'm using is:

I think I have the oAuth configured correctly as the token is present in the object as expected and it has a valid expiry date, and as mentioned, it's working OK from the HTTP object.
