Configure Gmail with OAuth as an input source
To create an input source configuration for use with ReadSoft Collector
in which an OAuth
token is used to communicate with Gmail:
Select the Input
tab, and then click 
.
In the
dialog that is displayed, select OAuth
in the Type drop-down list.
Select Gmail in the Mail server box
In the Display name
box, type a name that helps you remember what the input source configuration
is used for. When the input source configuration is complete, what you
enter here is displayed in the Display
name column of the
Input dialog.
Add any additional relevant information in the Description
box, and click Next.
In the Client Id
box, type the application ID generated when the application was registered in the API console. (for example, f7ce6223-8fe1-4199-b229-bfbe2b5209a0).
In the Client Secret
box, type the application secret code generated when the application was registered in the API console.

You can use the Start
folder box to filter which folders are displayed in the dialogs
during this configuration only). If a lot of folders are accessible
from your email account, and you use * only, for example, it may take
a considerable amount of time to display the next configuration dialog
since the program looks for all folders that are accessible from the
account specified (including all public/global folders that may be
available). It goes much faster if you use a filter to limit the number
of folders that need to be displayed. Consider the following suggestions:
In connection with specific paths, forward slashes
(/) should be used (Inbox/Collector,
for example).
Note: Some mail servers use a different delimiter (backward slash(\),
for example). You will need to test this to find out which delimiter
applies.
Using an asterisk (*) is recommended in connection
with folder names:
Specifying Inbox/*
would only display all sub-folders to the Inbox
root folder for the specified account (eliminating the need
to browse through all public/global folders that may be accessible
from this account).
Specifying Inbox/Collector/*
would narrow the search even more to only those folders (and
their sub-folders) under the Collector
folder that is under Inbox.
Note:
Using the /* characters at the end ensures that any additional sub-folders
to sub-folders are also displayed.
Click Next
when you are satisfied with what has been specified.
The folders that already exist for the user account
specified are displayed. Select the folder where you want ReadSoft
Collector to get the source files. Click Next.
Tips!
Click an item in the folder list to access any potential
sub-folders (a + sign is added to the list entry if sub-folders are
present).
Click the plus sign (+) next to a folder in the list
to display sub-folders.
You can create new folders by right-clicking
a folder in the list and selecting Create
folder.
Specify the folder where files are worked on internally
for safer processing. Click Next.
Specify the destination folder where you want to put
processed emails. See tips above. Click Next.
Specify the folder where you want to put emails that
contain errors after processing. Click Next.
Click Finish.
