'''IF UPDATING SME AND GMAIL IS USED FOLLOW THESE FOLLOWING STEPS:'''
 
<br>When emailing from SME through Gmail you will need to authorize SME in Gmail. You will also need to be logged into both SME and Gmail before you can email. If you encounter errors with login credentials, you’ll need to log out of both SME, and Gmail and log back in before attempting to email. This is an Admin setting and an individual Gmail account setting.

*        Log out of SME and Gmail
 
*        Log back into SME
