I had to make a generic Gmail account, and change one setting on the account.
Log into the generic email account. Settings | Accounts | Change account Settings | Google Account Settings New Screen. Signing in to Google | Almost bottom of page, under connected apps & sites, allow less secure apps, turn on the feature. Then sendemail works for me. It also works when setting up photocopiers to send messages (when scanning to pdf etc). Hope this helps. Mark *Mark Reimer,* A+, MCSA.
