Use the following settings in the Email & SMTP section replacing any place holders with the user specific information:

  • System admin email address: <username>@gmail.com
  • Source email address: <username>@gmail.com
  • SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
  • Server require authentication: Yes
  • Username: <username>@gmail.com
