I have a g suites account and applications associated with my e-mails. I was looking at the Laravel mail functions but I do not see any option to log in to gmail smtp with xoauth auth type.
I was using PHPMailer with codeigniter and I had to use clientId, clientSecret and refreshToken to send emails via smtp.gmail.com
Is there any chance I can authenticate using xoauth with native laravel swiftmailer?

Since Laravel doesn't have available configuration to set AuthMode then we need to tweak it a little bit.
Register a new Mail service provider in
config/app.php:// ... 'providers' => [ // ... // Illuminate\Mail\MailServiceProvider::class, App\MyMailer\MyMailServiceProvider::class, // ...app/MyMailer/MyMailServiceProvider.phpshould create your ownTransportManagerclass:
```
namespace App\MyMailer; class MyMailServiceProvider extends \Illuminate\Mail\MailServiceProvider { public function registerSwiftTransport() { $this->app['swift.transport'] = $this->app->share(function ($app) { return new MyTransportManager($app); }); } } ```
- In the
app/MyMailer/MyTransportManager.phpwe can provide additional configuration to theSwiftMailer:
```
<?php namespace App\MyMailer; class MyTransportManager extends \Illuminate\Mail\TransportManager { /** * Create an instance of the SMTP Swift Transport driver. * * @return \Swift_SmtpTransport */ protected function createSmtpDriver() { $transport = parent::createSmtpDriver(); $config = $this->app->make('config')->get('mail'); if (isset($config['authmode'])) { $transport->setAuthMode($config['authmode']); } return $transport; } } ```
- Last thing to do is to provide mail configuration with
authmodeset toXOAUTH2andpasswordto your access token:
```
<?php return array( /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Mail Driver |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Laravel supports both SMTP and PHP's "mail" function as drivers for the | sending of e-mail.
