Configuring Gmail or Yahoo mail accounts in SQLMessenger

After SQLMessenger is installed, we need to configure email accounts within it for sending emails.
Unlike other email services, configuring Gmail and Yahoo Mail accounts requires entering the App Password as the login password for the email account, instead of the Gmail or Yahoo account password.
Gmail Email Account Config
Step1: Log in to your Google account, then click the "Account" icon on the Google menu.
