I have seen quite afew articles on the above but none for version 7. Does anybody know what the correct settings should be for routing email through gmail? For info I have a business account so the email address is a personal address rather than a gmail one.
Are you experiencing any issues with the above setup? At a first glance looks right to me - But I'm thinking that you perhaps need to setup the from email in the /config/umbracoSettings.config
<notifications> <!-- the email that should be used as from mail when umbraco sends a notification --> <email>email@businessdomain.com</email> </notifications>
The reason we need it is because we have a team of contributors around the country and they are writing article remotely with one central administrator publishing the articles. When I tested just now with a test 'send to publish' I didn't receive an email to confirm something had been written.
Try checking the /App_Data/Logs file to see if it reveals any related info. Usually it appears in there if something is not working when trying to send e-mails.
And if you're not using it already you should try to use http://smtp4dev.codeplex.com/ - It can make it easier to do e-mail testing when sending.
Couldn't see anything of use in the logs, I have an ongoing issue with this site and memory leaks as well so I'm wondering if my hosting company have got a couple of settings wrong on the server..
Thanks anyway.
P.S. will mark as a solution for other forum members to say that the Gmail settings for ver 7 were correct but will note that my emails are still not working at this point in time.
Gmail SMTP Settings Ver 7.2
Hi guys,
I have seen quite afew articles on the above but none for version 7. Does anybody know what the correct settings should be for routing email through gmail? For info I have a business account so the email address is a personal address rather than a gmail one.
Here is my code:
<smtp from=“alias@businessdomain.com”>
<network host="smtp.gmail.com"
userName=“email@businessdomain.com"
password=“pwdhere” port="465" defaultCredentials="false" enableSsl="true" />
</smtp>

Hi Jan,
Thanks for confirming so quickly.
In my umbraco settings I have the following:
<notifications>
<!-- the email that should be used as from mail when umbraco sends a notification -->
<email>email@businessdomain.com</email>
</notifications>
The reason we need it is because we have a team of contributors around the country and they are writing article remotely with one central administrator publishing the articles. When I tested just now with a test 'send to publish' I didn't receive an email to confirm something had been written.
Have I missed something daft?
Thanks.

Thanks again Jan.

Hi Brian
Ok, the issue could perhaps also be that the mails are ending up in a cue somewhere then so it's a good idea to get in touch with the hosting company.
Does it work if you try locally?
/Jan
I really recommend changing smtp provider to something with a log for everything mailed from websites/services.
Try sendgrid.com.
