Smtp mail server for gmail

To set up an SMTP mail server for Gmail, you'll need to use the Gmail SMTP server settings. Here are the details:

Gmail SMTP Server Settings:

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

Note: If you're using 2-Step Verification (2SV) with your Gmail account, you'll need to generate an App Password to use with your SMTP client. You can do this by following these steps:

1. Sign in to your Google Account.
2. Go to the Google Account settings page.
3. Click on "Security" from the menu.
4. Scroll down to the "Signing in to Google" section.
5. Click on "App passwords."
6. Select "Mail" as the app type.
7. Choose the device you're using (e.g., "Other").
8. Click "Generate."
9. Copy the generated password.

SMTP Client Settings:

• Server: smtp.gmail.com
• Port: 587 (or 465 for SSL/TLS)
• Username: Your Gmail address (e.g., [email protected])
• Password: Your Gmail password (or App Password if using 2SV)
• Encryption: TLS (Transport Layer Security) or SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)

Example SMTP Client Code:

Here's an example of how you might use these settings in a Python script using the smtplib library:

import smtplib

# Set up the SMTP server
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.login('[email protected]', 'your_password')

# Send an email
msg = 'Subject: Test email\n\nThis is a test email.'
server.sendmail('[email protected]', '[email protected]', msg)

# Close the SMTP connection
server.quit()

Remember to replace [email protected] and your_password with your actual Gmail address and password (or App Password if using 2SV).
