Enable SMTP AUTH for the specific user account/mailbox that BPA Platform is to use. If this is not done, the OAUTH flow in the browser window spawned by BPA Platform may complete successfully (depending on whether step 4 below has been done), however the tool will still complain at runtime that authorisation has not been granted.
