In response to this message about using Gmail for sending MLO reminder emails: http://groups.google.com/group/mylifeorganized/browse_thread/thread/ae0449b740adbc9e/
qhamel just sent me more detailed instructions (Thanks qhamel!) : ------------------------ Here is a more detailed explanation on how to configure use MLO with Gmail: GMail as your SMTP server GMail requires secure connections If you want to configure MLO to use GMail as its SMTP server, you will find that currently MLO does not support secure (TLS/STARTTLS) connections for email. To work around this, you will need to run another program (stunnel) to "wrap" MLO's connection to GMail. MLO will then connect to stunnel, which will connect to gmail. Download / Configure stunnel Download the latest windows Stunnell installer and run the installer. Install stunnel to the directory C:\Stunnel. Inside the c:\Stunnel directory create a text file called gmailsmtp.txt with the following content (8 lines). ; SMTP configuration for Gmail output = SMTPgmail.log taskbar = no cert = stunnel.pem client = yes [ssmtp] accept = 10.0.0.1:8025 connect = smtp.gmail.com:465 Change 10.0.0.1 to your computer's IP address or name. Do not use "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 as that won't work. The best way is to go to Control Panel and click on "System" and click on the Computer name tab. Highlight and copy the full computer name for your PC. Open a command prompt (cmd.exe) and navigate to the stunnel install directory (CD C:\Stunnel). Enter the following 2 commands to run stunnel as a Windows Service: stunnel -install gmailsmtp.txt net start stunnel Now Configure MLO email settings Now you need to configure MLO Email Settings to connect to stunnel. Your SMTP server: Your computer name you just got off of the computer name tab Port: 8025 Check My server requires Authentication Userid: your gmail address ([email protected]) Password: your gmail password Now press the "Test" button. If you configured everything correctly, a test email will be sent. This test email will also show up inside your gmail account in the "Sent Mail" folder. qhamel ------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
