Hi @shello2k,

I have not tested this myself, but @honza.stastny posted the following in this forum thread:

In case, someone wants to use Gmail SMTP for outgoing email, be aware, that you must use the port 587. Even though the documentation at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hlrm=cs&answer=13287 does not mention any difference between port 465 and 587, they work differently and the port 465 will not work with STARTTLS Jazz supports.

The complete configuration is then:
  • SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
  • SMTP Server port: 587
  • SMTP Username: your gmail login including @gmail.com
  • SMTP Password: your password
  • Use STARTTLS: true


Hope that helps.

Regards,
Patrick

This worked like a charm because I could not get our SMTP server configuration to work on setting up the e-mail notification.  Thanks for posting this.
