Gmail as client use case #392
-
|
I have questions regarding a use case that I couldn't see discussed elsewhere. My current workflow setup is to use gmail in the browser, and use the gmail 'send as' feature to send emails through my work-provided Office 365 account. This is currently on its last legs since gmail doesn't do OAuth for send as. So, I'm wondering if I could set this proxy up to run on a stable server that I could point my Gmail account to and have it interact with O365. Apologies if this is discussed somewhere and I missed it, but most discussions seem to assume the proxy is running on the same machine as the client machine. I have noticed that perhaps the 'local_address' property combined with certificates to encrypt the communication between the client and proxy might provide what I'm looking for. If there are any examples that use these in this kind of context, please direct me towards them. (If not, perhaps I can help write one up, as I suspect my problem is going to become pressing for more people before April 2026) |

Yes, this is possible with the proxy. You'd need to set up a server, domain and certificates, though. The |

local_addressproperty would be used to tell the proxy to expect connections via, e.g.,yourdomain.com. Personally, though, although I originally made and continue to use the proxy extensively for connections on my own machine, I actually now just use auth-email.com for the Outlook + Gmail "send as" use-case.
