Hosting a mailbox that just forwards everything to like a Gmail
account will be problematic — especially when your customer’s
account is targeted for spam that your system does not flag, but
which instead is forwarded on to a Gmail account.
If one of our customers wants a copy of the emails on our system
sent to their Gmail account, we advise them to set up their Gmail
account to fetch such emails from our system instead.
Do you have a 'device' specific secret (OpenAuth, CLientID etc.) forGMail to use ? How do you get GMail to use it ?Do GMail have documentation on how the rest of us can do this ?
If not, how comfortable are you giving GMail your users' passwords
(sorry, asking your users to share their password with GMail) ?
Andrew, either I’m not understanding or you’ve not thought this through…
If a customer wants a copy of all of their email to be in Gmail, does it really matter if Gmail has the password to the user’s account?
