If you have two-step authentication enabled on your Gmail account, you must complete the steps below to authorize DocketManager's access of your account or you will get the following error:
"An error has occurred: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required."
To do this, click on the following link which will take you to your Gmail Security Settings: https://myaccount.google.com/security
Step Action
1. Under {Signing In To Google} click {App Passwords}
2. Select {Mail} and then select {Other (Custom Name)}
