How do i configure a program to send mail to my g-mail with smtp.gmail.com ?

Basically im trying to use a program that will automatically send e-mails to me throughout the day. It says i need a smtp server e-mail and so i made a g-mail account with advice from others. I cannot get the program to work however, maybe you offer some advice?





SMTP server : smtp.gmail.com


Port : 587


Username : johndoe@gmail.com


Password : jdoe123 (actual g-mail password)


Authentication Method : Login Plain


(other authentication options include; CRAM-MD5, AUTH Login, None)

goto your program mail accounts and add a gmail account, follow the wizard (should be one) or follow the steps for user/passwrd etc...





gmail icoming server: imap.gmail.com use port #993 and SSL


gmail outgoing sever: smtp.gmail.com use port #465 and SSL





uncheck leave mail on server and you should be good to go


this works for outlook and windows mail


hope this helps u
