Yes. If my memory serves me, there is discussion above about google not allowing something (list access, maybe?), but there was a workaround about using some “legacy” something. That’s what I remember. You’ll have to scroll through the above 100 messages to find it. If it works, it would be great if you could update the OP to say how you made it work so the next person who needs to know will be able to find it more easily.
