If you are using two factor authentication, this will not work. In this case, you will need to create an /app password/. A guide on how to do this can be found [[https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833][here]]. From here, I can just replace this value with what used to be my normal password.
** Installation for MacOS
MacOS doesn't include a certificate file in the typical ~/etc/ssl/certs~ directory. Due to this, you have to create a file using the ~Keychain Access~ app.
#+begin_src bash
Open the Application Keychain Access.app
Select System Roots in the sidebar
Select all items listen here ⌘ + a
Export the items with ⇧ + ⌘ + e to the file ~/.mail/certificates/root-certificates.pem

* Mu4e
In this section, I'm setting up ~mu4e~ to give emacs the capability to send emails using my gmail account. To start, you need to install the ~mu4e~ package outside of emacs.

@ -86,11 +96,13 @@ In order to send mail with ~mu4e~, you must also configure an SMTP client. Base
(setq smtpmail-stream-type 'ssl)

(setq smtpmail-smtp-service 465))
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
#+end_src
When running this however, you need to authenticate by creating an ~~/.authinfo~ file. This file is formatted as follows:
#+begin_src text
machine mail.example.org port 25 login myuser password mypassword
machine smtp.gmail.com port 465 login myuser password mypassword
#+end_src
Similarly to the password configured above for the IMAP server, you can also pass an ~authinfo.gpg~ file for some added security.
