    Hi

    I am using the plugin on several websites with Gmail, and there are one or two that disconnect very often, while the others do not.

    Do you have any idea what might be the reason why those few sites do more disconnects than others?

    thanks

  • Hi there @imokweb,

    Someone just asked a similar question about Gmail in a different thread. The most common cause of the issue is a misconfigured setting in the Google Console.

    Typically when this happens, it means that your Google API app (OAuth screen section: https://a.supportally.com/HMVXQm) is in the “Test mode” and needs to be changed to “Production” to resolve this issue.

    Can you please look into adjusting this setting in Google’s API & Services > OAuth consent screen Publishing status area and see if it resolves this issue for you?

    – Other Causes for Gmail Disconnections

    The OAuth token in Gmail will reset for any event breaking the connection, including but not limited to:

    1. Changing Google password
    2. Enabling or disabling 2FA
    3. Google account access reset
    4. Activation of Google advanced protection program
    5. Revocation of the app to profile
    6. App OAuth permission revoked by Google
    7. App moved from public mode to private/internal mode by Google (or by a user whose user domain is not in the allowed org domain zone)
    8. App verification failure on reaudit
    9. Suspension of Google account
    10. User requested linked account unlinking
    11. The user does not use the app for 6 months (automatically expires refresh token)
    12. The user adds/removes sensitive or needs review scopes to the app but does not complete the app review process
    13. If the user is at the maximum limit for OAuth tokens to a Google profile (50) or for the service (25 for example in analytics), activation of a new refresh key will also automatically revoke the earliest key

    To resolve the issue, please head over to the WP Mail SMTP > Settings page, and click on the “Remove Connection” button. Then click on the “Allow plugin to send emails using your Google account” button to re-enable access.

    I know that this issue can be very frustrating to deal with, and I’m sorry again that you’re experiencing it, but I do hope this helps.

    I hope that helps! Have a great day!
