Hi,

On localhost when using an email like this root@localhost.com everything was working fine but how can I use a gmail address on a server?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think your question is very clear - you'll probably need to clarify it if you need assistance.

If you mean on an online server, you can not use imap/pop/smtp settings from gmail directly.

For safety reasons your host wants you to use the email gateway on your host.

You have to first setup an email account on your online server. Outgoing mail must use smtp

from your online server, incoming mail can be forwarded to your gmail account.

And of course you can use the Wire Mail smtp module for processwire:

I wanted to have a gmail address for all the automated outgoing mail for orders through Padloper but I'm not sure if it's possible. I've contacted my host and we were trying to do it with the help of the Wire Mail SMTP module but without success.

It's not really a problem, I created a noreply email under the domain and problem solved. No need for gmail.

I could do that at first but that's what happen when you haven't slept for 48 hours...

Thanks guys for trying to help.
