Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

From 2015-11-08 more or less I can say that Jason the original author stoped maintain the plugin. He may still answered some support tickets, but nothing more. You can read more about the “story” here: https://postmansmtp.com/#story
A modern replacement for traditional password-based authentication. Post supports the OAuth 2.0 implementations of all three major e-mail providers: Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo Mail.
Post requests a limited access OAuth 2.0 token (valet key) to access the APIs (enter the house) and perform a specific service (handle Gmail, stay out of Google Docs) with no need for you to surrender your username and password credentials (master house key). Once access is granted, Post commandeers the WordPress wp_mail() function to provide an incredibly stable mail sub-system.
Google does have a setting to allow less secure apps but this option is not available if you’re using Google Apps to manage a domain. There are many reasons why OAuth 2.0 is better than any password-based mechanism: Post will never ask for your password, so your password can’t be stolen If you change your password regularly, you will never have to update Post’s configuration You have tighter control over the data Post has access to. For Google users it can never access your Calendar or Docs or YouTube; for Yahoo users it can never access your Flickr If your WordPress site gets hacked, you can revoke Post’s email access without impacting any other application or website that has access to your account NEVER give out your Gmail, Microsoft or Yahoo password to a 3rd-party or 3rd-party program that you don’t fully trust.
To use OAuth, your website needs it’s own Client ID. The Client ID is used to control authentication and authorization and is tied to the specific URL of your website. If you manage several websites, you will need a different Client ID for each one.
