Important Points
Important: Before proceeding please login to the
AuthSMTP Control Panel
and enable SSL on your account.
Due to the way Gmail's email systems currently work you have to have SSL enabled on your account for you to be able to send emails through AuthSMTP, otherwise any emails you send may not reach us and you may not get an error message.
Important: You cannot send emails through the Gmail webmail page using your Gmail address, you can only specify a separate SMTP server for emails addresses that do not use gmail.com or googlemail.com. However if you use an email program such as Outlook or Thunderbird you can send emails using your Gmail address through AuthSMTP.
- These instructions assume your email account has already been setup and is collecting email correctly.
- Take a note of any settings you change.
- Only change the items specified - you should not need to change anything else in your Gmail account.
- These instructions are only for Gmail - for other email programs please see How To Setup AuthSMTP or contact us.
