You can change email settings for a Turnkey Site either in the portal or in the MDriven Servers email settings.
When you apply settings from the portal, the MDriven Server settings are updated.

Notes for Using Gmail
When using Gmail, you need to turn on "Less secure app access" (you do NOT need to create a "app password" see updates 2020-05-25 below).
Log in to your Gmail/Google account. Go to account settings -> Security and then enable "Access for less secure apps".
Note! When you send using a service like Gmail, don't forget to use the sender email in your serverside job, or you might get an error message like "Incorrect login".
Updates 2020-05-25: After the emailing stopped, our Portal investigations led to us doing the following:
1. We now separate the login email from the "from"-email. You can change the "from"-email via the ViewModel, but the login email is always taken from the MDrivenServer settings.
2. Gmail has something called application login https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en. We switched to this to get our email working after it suddenly stopped.
