Preparations - change in Gmail settings :

First of all you need to make some changes in your gmail account settings.
You need to open your gmail account settings. The following page will get open.

You need to click Signing in to Google. 

There are 2 steps :

1. You need to keep the 2-step verification off, if you’re using it.
2. Then click on 'Apps with Account Access'. Here, you need to keep Allow less secure apps : ON .

And it’s done. That’s all you need to do.

XpoLog configuration:

1. In the General Settings console, open the Mail tab
2. In SMTP Host, type smtp.gmail.com
3. In SMTP Port, type 465 or 587 (must be opened on XpoLog server(s))
   
4. System Email Address - typically this is the default/system ‘From’ email address that is to be used when sending emails from XpoLog. However, when using GMAIL the 'From' email address will always be the email address of the GMAIL account you're using in these settings. GMAIL does not allow a custom email address to be used as the 'From' email address.
5. In Administrator Email Address, type the email address of XpoLog’s administrator, where system notifications such as disk space, violation messages, and more, are to be sent.
6. Check the Use SMTP Authentication check-box.
7. Provide SMTP Username and SMTP Password (your GMAIL user and password)
8. Check the Use TLS/SSL check-box
9. Click the Save button.

The GMAIL settings are saved.
