CMSMailer with XAMPP and Gmail [solved]

[jsh11a]

Hi, everyone! I'm new to CMS and am having some trouble configuring CMSMailer. I did find some other threads on this topic, but none with the information that I need. I'm developing locally on a Windows machine with XAMPP installed. I have the local server configured to use my Gmail account for sending mail. I know this works because I can successfully run a PHP mail script that correctly sends email.

However, I'm trying to configure CMSMailer to use this same Gmail account and my localhost and I'm not having any success. The test emails don't go through.

I would imagine that this would be a common issue. Lots of people develop locally with XAMPP and use Gmail for email.

Can anyone step me through how to configure CMSMailer in this instance?

Thanks in advance for any and all help!
