I don’t use Ignition to send out emails, but I do have edge devices that will send out alarms using gmail.

First, I want to make note that in the very near future “ **Gmail is going to stop this service** ” I got a notification email from gmail telling me this several months back.

But this is how I have my device’s setup to send email

Had to use port 587  
[smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com) is the address  
had the use “Authentication” (User name and Password)  
had to use “TLS” encryption.
