Outgoing mail server settings for gmail

Here are the outgoing mail server settings for Gmail:

SMTP Server Settings:

• Server: smtp.gmail.com
• Port: 587 (or 465 for SSL/TLS)
• Encryption: TLS (or SSL for older clients)
• Username: Your Gmail address (e.g., [email protected])
• Password: Your Gmail password

Notes:

• Make sure to enable "Less secure app access" in your Google Account settings if you're using a less secure 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 a third-party email client or app, you may need to configure it to use the Gmail SMTP server. Check the client or app's documentation for instructions on how to do this.
• If you're having trouble sending emails using these settings, try checking your Gmail account settings to ensure that "2-Step Verification" is not enabled. If it is, you may need to generate an App Password and use that instead of your regular password.

Example:

Here's an example of how you might configure an email client or app to use the Gmail SMTP server:

• Client: 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 server port"
  • Select "TLS" as the "Outgoing server encryption"
  • Enter your Gmail address and password
• Client: Mozilla Thunderbird
  • Go to "Tools" > "Account Settings" > "Outgoing Server (SMTP)"
  • Enter smtp.gmail.com as the "Server"
  • Enter 587 as the "Port"
  • Select "TLS" as the "Encryption"
  • Enter your Gmail address and password

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