#65 - Using Gmail to send Joomla email

Did you know that you could use Gmail and Joomla together such that Joomla sends emails via Gmail? With the popularity of both Gmail and Joomla, we're sure you'll find the following tip extremely useful!

You need to use the following settings to use gmail as the Joomla email server.

1. Go to Global configuration > Server

You need to change some options in the "Mail Settings" section.

2. Set "Mailer" to SMTP Server.

3. "Mail From" will be This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
4. Set "From Name" to whatever you want. E.g. DART Creations, or whatever
5. "Sendmail Path" requires no changes.
6. Set "SMTP Authentication" to yes.
7. "SMTP Username" will again be This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
8. "SMTP Password" will be yourpassword
9. "SMTP Host" is gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com

Below is a screenshot of how the settings should look after you have configured everything.

With these settings you should be able to successfully send emails via your gmail account. We hope you find this tip helpful! This tip brought thanks to Joshua from http://jbelltechnology.com

We
will be really proud to know more about ardent Joomla developers their vision
and milestones. In fact I would like to put up one specifically on Techbubble
