Over the past few years, I have made several things use my Gmail to send email. Lately, this includes this website here, my firewall, my file server, and several small Raspberry Pi projects. Everytime I need to set something new up, I find I have to look and search and look and hope to find the Gmail Server details I am looking for...
Ususally, I *HOPE* to be able to find a specific webpage from google: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/13287
Yeah, I know I can just bookmark it, which I have done. But since this is my website, and I am trying to accumulate all this info into 1 central spot (here), I decided to put it up here as well.

Since I do not yet have a domain name, nor an email server, I like to use my Gmail account to send out emails. With these details above, I have been able to successfully configure everything I have wanted to.
Lastly, don't forget to enable 'Less Secure Apps' on your gmail account:
