GMail 2-step Verification - using with BoxMinder Pro
To use a Gmail account with BoxMinder Pro, where 2-step verification has been inaugurated, you simply need to create and use an application-specific password.

You then simply use the provided application-specific password in BoxMinder Pro (instead of the password you would use to log in to Gmail) with your normal Gmail address for the account in question.

After this has been completed, you should be setup to use Gmail as you email sending account.
