Gmail smtp ssl port

A very specific question!

The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) port for Gmail is 587, and it uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption.

Here are the details:

• Port: 587
• Protocol: SMTP
• Encryption: SSL (or TLS, which is an upgraded version of SSL)

To connect to Gmail's SMTP server using SSL, you'll need to use the following settings:

• Server: smtp.gmail.com
• Port: 587
• Encryption: SSL
• Username: Your Gmail address (e.g., [email protected])
• Password: Your Gmail password

Note that if you're using a third-party email client or app, you may need to configure the SMTP settings manually. Be sure to check the app's documentation for specific instructions.

Also, keep in mind that Gmail has some security restrictions that may affect your ability to send emails using their SMTP server. For example, you may need to enable "Less secure apps" in your Google Account settings if you're using a third-party app to send emails.
