Using mControl Email Macro Action via the Gmail SMTP system

How can you send emails via Gmail's SMTP system?

If you have a Gmail account, you may want to use the Gmail SMTP server to send emails originating from mControl's email macro actions.

The following has been validated on mControl v2.1.3818:

  1. Create or use your existing gmail account. Under your gmail account settings, you must enable IMAP.
  2. Within an mControl macro, create an action of type "Send Email", with the following settings:
  • SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
  • To: <email address to whom you want the email sent to>
  • CC: <email address to whom you want the email CC'd to>
  • Subject: <Subject of email>
  • Port: 587
  • Enable SSL: True (checked)
  • Authentication: True (checked)
  • Use Default Credentials: False (unchecked)
  • User name: <your gmail login user name>
  • Password: <your gmail login password>
