[MLO] Re: Using Gmail as SMTP for sending MLO reminder emails
You can use mailgun.com to get this working pretty simply and it's free for under 10,000 emails.

What if I have to use a Socks5(127.0.0.1:1080) or http(127.0.0.1:8118) proxy to connect to gmail? How should stunnel be configured?

[MLO] Re: Using Gmail as SMTP for sending MLO reminder emails
The stunnel work around may have worked in the past but does not work presently. There have been many requests for the seamless integration of the Gmail capability dating back to November 2009. Is this feature on the todo list yet ? I am sure many users would value the addition of built-in Gmail support.
