Gmail smtp tls port

A very specific question!

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

SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com Port: 587 (or 25 for non-TLS connections, but this is not recommended) Encryption: TLS (Transport Layer Security)

Here's a breakdown of the settings:

• SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com is the hostname of Gmail's SMTP server.
• Port: 587 is the default port for TLS connections. You can also use 25 for non-TLS connections, but this is not recommended as it's less secure.
• Encryption: TLS is the encryption protocol used to secure the connection between your email client and Gmail's SMTP server.

To set up your email client to use Gmail's SMTP server, you'll need to enter these settings:

• Server: smtp.gmail.com
• Port: 587 (or 25 for non-TLS connections)
• Encryption: TLS
• Username: Your Gmail address (e.g., [email protected])
• Password: Your Gmail password

Keep in mind that you may need to enable "Less secure app access" in your Google Account settings if you're using a non-Gmail email client or app. This setting allows less secure apps to access your account, but it's not recommended to leave it enabled if you're using a secure email client or app.
