What server and port should I use for Gmail or Google Workspace? Do I need SSL/TLS enabled when connecting my Gmail?

SMTP / IMAP Settings for Gmail and Google Workspace

If you’re setting up your email connection, you’ll notice that the system includes an option to automatically configure your Gmail or Google Workspace account. In most cases, you won’t need to manually enter any server details — the setup page handles that for you.

Automatic Setup (Recommended)

On the setup page, look for the section labeled Service Provider.
From the dropdown, simply select Gmail / Google Workspace, then click Apply.

Once applied, the system will automatically populate all the correct connection details for you — including SMTP, IMAP, ports, and encryption settings. No manual configuration is needed.

This method ensures a quick and accurate setup, minimizing potential errors.

Manual Setup (Optional)

If you prefer to configure your email manually or need to verify the settings for troubleshooting purposes, you can use the standard Gmail / Google Workspace configuration below:

Additional Notes

• IMAP handles incoming mail and keeps your messages synced across devices.

• SMTP is used for sending outgoing mail.

• Always ensure SSL/TLS is enabled for both IMAP and SMTP for secure transmission.

• You will need to activate your 2-Step Verification (2FA) and you’ll need to generate an App Password for authentication.
