Google mail smtp settings

Here are the SMTP settings for Google Mail (Gmail):

SMTP Server:

• Server: smtp.gmail.com
• Port: 587 (or 465 for SSL/TLS)

Authentication:

• Username: Your Gmail address (e.g., [email protected])
• Password: Your Gmail password

Encryption:

• SSL/TLS: STARTTLS (or SSL for older clients)

Additional settings:

• Authentication method: PLAIN or LOGIN
• SMTP authentication required: Yes
• SMTP server requires a secure connection (SSL): Yes

Notes:

• Make sure to enable "Less secure app access" in your Google Account settings if you're using a third-party email client or app. You can do this by going to your Google Account settings, clicking on "Security," and then toggling the switch next to "Less secure app access."
• If you're using 2-Step Verification, you may need to generate an App Password and use that instead of your regular password.
• Some email clients may require additional settings or configurations. Consult your email client's documentation for more information.

Here are some examples of how to configure your email client using these settings:

• Microsoft Outlook:
  • Go to File > Account Settings > Account > More Settings > Outgoing Server
  • Enter smtp.gmail.com as the Outgoing mail server (SMTP)
  • Enter 587 as the Outgoing mail server port
  • Select STARTTLS as the encryption method
  • Enter your Gmail address and password
• Mozilla Thunderbird:
  • Go to Account Settings > Outgoing Server (SMTP)
  • Enter smtp.gmail.com as the Server name
  • Enter 587 as the Port number
  • Select STARTTLS as the Encryption method
  • Enter your Gmail address and password
• Apple Mail:
  • Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Outgoing Mail Server
  • Enter smtp.gmail.com as the Server
  • Enter 587 as the Port
  • Select STARTTLS as the Encryption method
  • Enter your Gmail address and password

Remember to replace [email protected] with your actual Gmail address and your_password with your actual Gmail password.
