Gmail outgoing smtp server
The outgoing SMTP server for Gmail is:
smtp.gmail.com
Here are some additional settings you may need to configure:
- Port: 587 (TLS) or 25 (STARTTLS)
- Encryption: TLS (Transport Layer Security) or STARTTLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security)
- Authentication: You'll need to use your Gmail username and password to authenticate.
Here's an example of how you might configure your email client to use Gmail's outgoing SMTP server:
- In your email client, go to the settings or preferences and look for the "Outgoing Mail Server" or "SMTP" settings.
- Enter
smtp.gmail.com
as the outgoing SMTP server. - Set the port to 587 (TLS) or 25 (STARTTLS).
- Select TLS or STARTTLS as the encryption method.
- Enter your Gmail username and password to authenticate.
Note: If you're using two-factor authentication (2FA) with your Gmail account, you may need to generate an App Password to use with your email client. You can do this by going to the Google Account settings page, clicking on "Security," and then clicking on "App passwords."
