   yes I saw g00r00 posting about this a few days ago, I'll have a look also. What   
   I found with Gmail is they the Google account linked to it would from time to   
   time auto disable the 'allow insecure apps' switch to off after I had enabled   
   it in order to allow Mystic to engage with Gmail. It's been a pain as the   
   ability for users to run a email/password reset option works then it does not   
   until I catch it is broken again because of that Google change in setting.

   Yep agreed, now that I know Gmail/Google is going to be a bust I need to find   
   some way to easily do what I was mostly easily doing using a free email service   
   like Gmail.
