What is the gmail outgoing mail server

The Gmail outgoing mail server, also known as the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server, is used to send emails from your Gmail account to other email addresses.

The Gmail outgoing mail server settings are as follows:

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

Here's a breakdown of the settings:

• smtp.gmail.com: This is the hostname of the Gmail SMTP server. You'll use this to connect to the server and send emails.
• 587 (or 465): These are the ports used for sending emails. Port 587 is the default port for sending emails, while port 465 is used for SSL/TLS encryption. You can use either port, depending on your email client or application's settings.
• [email protected]: This is your Gmail address, which you'll use as the username to log in to the SMTP server.
• your_password: This is your Gmail password, which you'll use to authenticate with the SMTP server.

To set up your email client or application to use the Gmail outgoing mail server, you'll typically need to enter these settings:

1. Server: smtp.gmail.com
2. Port: 587 (or 465)
3. Username: [email protected]
4. Password: your_password

Keep in mind that you may need to enable "Less secure app access" in your Google Account settings if you're using a third-party email client or application to send emails from your Gmail account.
