smtp - Configuring Jenkins email notification with gmail

Question

I tried to configure jenkins to send email notification with gmail as the POP provider but I could not succeed

SMTP server - pop.gmail.com
Default user e-mail suffix - @gmail.com
Sender E-mail Address - Foobar CI <your.email@gmail.com>

Use SMTP Authentication - yes
User Name - your.email
Password - p******d

Use SSL - yes
SMTP Port - 995
Reply-To Address - noreply@gmail.com
Charset - UTF-8

Test failed with : Connection refused

javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: pop.gmail.com, port: 995; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

Answer 1

The hostname for the Google SMTP server is smtp.gmail.com and if you use SSL, then the correct Port is 465.

A POP server is usually just for receiving mails, not sending mails.
