How do I route my SMTP outgoing mail through gmail (Google Mail) ?
- by Paula DiTallo
Here is the quick answer:
Go into your client e software (e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) for the account you are working on (usually default). Set the SMTP server to smtp.gmail.com
Set the username as your gmail account user name (e.g. [email protected]). Gmail will need the username and password you use for that account, so if your default is set to some other email, be sure to set the username and password to that value, or click on the checkbox for username/password.
Check TLS as the secure connection.
