Gmail SMTP configuration example:
The Gmail SMTP server settings for sending mail through Gmail from any email program are:
Gmail SMTP server-address: smtp.gmail.com
Gmail SMTP username: Your full Gmail address (e.g. example@gmail.com)
Gmail SMTP password: Your Gmail password “This step will be explained in the App Password section”

To configure APP password:
- Go to https://myaccount.google.com/security
- Scroll down to Signing in to Google
- Ensure 2-step verification is “On”
- If two step verification is not “On” we will not be able to setup App passwords
- Click App Passwords
- Gooogle prompts to enter your account password
- Enter a name for the custom device > click create
- A unique 16-character password has been generated for the Gmail SMTP authentication . Please use this password in the 'Gmail SMTP password' step.
