Sharepoint email alert setup

[JohnT]

I'm setting up a help desk part within Sharepoint 2007 but can't get the email alert working. We use Google Mail. Does anyone know how to set up alerts with Google?

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

 

I have never used Google mail myself, only Exchange. The link below takes you to combined knowledge and there is a document there about setting up email. Not Google mail, but it might help put you in the right direction.

These are the gmail smtp settings I use on a forum I run

 

host - ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465

port - 465

username - normal gmail username

password - normal gmail password

 

Make sure port 465 is open on the firewall
