Gmail smtp details
Here are the SMTP details for Gmail:
SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 587 (or 25 for SSL/TLS)
Username: Your Gmail address (e.g., [email protected])

Note: If you're using Gmail's two-factor authentication (2FA), you'll need to generate an App Password to use with your SMTP client. You can do this by following these steps:
- Go to the Google Account settings page.
- Click on "Security" and then "App passwords".
- Select "Other" as the app type and enter a name for your app password.
- Click "Generate" to generate the password.
- Use the generated password in your SMTP client instead of your regular Gmail password.
Additional tips:
- Make sure to enable "Less secure app access" in your Google Account settings if you're using a third-party SMTP client. This setting allows less secure apps to access your account.
- If you're using a custom domain with Gmail, you may need to use a different SMTP server and settings. Check with your domain registrar or email provider for more information.
- Gmail has a rate limit on the number of emails you can send per day. If you exceed this limit, you may receive an error message or your emails may be delayed.
