Hi,

Can someone please help me setup ActionMailer via Gmail SMTP. I tried many tutorials online and some gems too but either they are not downloadable or links not working or the suggestions are very vague.

Presently I am using Ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 2.3.2

  ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp   ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true   ActionMailer::Base.raise_delivery_errors = true   ActionMailer::Base.default_charset = "utf-8"   ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = { :address => "smtp.gmail.com", :port => 587, :enable_starttls_auto => true :domain => "gmail.com", :authentication => :plain, :user_name => "myemailid@gmail.com", :password => "abc" }   ActionMailer::Base.default_content_type = "text/html"

I am presently in development mode and hence I am using localhost for development and dont have a specific domain. Can someone please help? I spent days playing with this without progress.

Look around for instructions on setting up TLS - Gmail SMTP won't work without it.
