How to Set Up SMTP for Email via GMAIL#

Google’s GMAIL is one of the most widely used email platforms. To configure GMAIL for sending emails via SMTP, use the following settings:

SMTP Server Details#

  • SMTP Server/Host: smtp.gmail.com

  • SMTP Port: 587

Authentication Information#

  • SMTP User Name: Your GMAIL email address (e.g., yourname@gmail.com).

  • SMTP Password: Your GMAIL password or an app-specific password.

Creating an App-Specific Password#

Due to security measures, Google may require the use of an app-specific password for applications accessing your GMAIL account. An app-specific password is a 16-digit passcode that gives a less secure app or device permission to access your Google Account.
