Hello Bruce,

Yes, David is exactly correct. Appain cannot send emails through gmail since its SSL enabled. But we can do this by configuring a local email sever to act as a relay between Appain and Gmail. We have done this on Appain 7 using Apache James as a relay. You have to enable SSL in James properties and configure it to act as a relay. So Appian will send emails to James which will then act as a relay to send the same using gmail.
