Hi!
I did the same as you, but Sharepoint didn’t send any mail 🙁 I think this is because gmail needs authentication even for sending mails. Is there any way to input the credentials that belongs to this email account? Until now I haven’t found anything inside Sharepoint.
Do you have any idea?

Hi,
Thanks for the link to my post.
Sorry that I need to correct you but Saurabh issue is because you have configured incorrectly the outgoing email.
SharePoint support only anonymous connection to SMTP.
Saurabh; To resolve the issue you need to point SharePoint to your local SMTP server that you just configured to forard emails to Gmail not to gmail dirrectly.
