qhamel just sent me more detailed instructions (Thanks qhamel!) :
------------------------
Here is a more detailed explanation on how to configure use MLO with
Gmail:
GMail as your SMTP server
GMail requires secure connections
If you want to configure MLO to use GMail as its SMTP server, you will
find that currently MLO does not support secure (TLS/STARTTLS)
connections for email. To work around this, you will need to run
another program (stunnel) to "wrap" MLO's connection to GMail. MLO
will then connect to stunnel, which will connect to gmail.
Download / Configure stunnel
Download the latest windows Stunnell installer and run the installer.
Install stunnel to the directory C:\Stunnel.
Inside the c:\Stunnel directory create a text file called
gmailsmtp.txt with the following content (8 lines).
; SMTP configuration for Gmail
output = SMTPgmail.log
taskbar = no
cert = stunnel.pem
client = yes
[ssmtp]
accept = 10.0.0.1:8025
connect = smtp.gmail.com:465
Change 10.0.0.1 to your computer's IP address or name. Do not use
"localhost" or 127.0.0.1 as that won't work. The best way is to go to
Control Panel and click on "System" and click on the Computer name
tab. Highlight and copy the full computer name for your PC.
Open a command prompt (cmd.exe) and navigate to the stunnel install
directory (CD C:\Stunnel). Enter the following 2 commands to run
stunnel as a Windows Service:
stunnel -install gmailsmtp.txt
net start stunnel
Now Configure MLO email settings
Now you need to configure MLO Email Settings to connect to stunnel.
Your SMTP server: Your computer name you just got off of the computer
name tab
Port: 8025
Check My server requires Authentication
Userid: your gmail address (joh...@gmail.com)
Password: your gmail password
Now press the "Test" button. If you configured everything correctly, a
test email will be sent. This test email will also show up inside your
gmail account in the "Sent Mail" folder.

At the moment the app currently supports mail servers with on non-secure SMTPs only. If the mail server you are trying to set up in MLO Email settings use secure SMTP, mail notification functionality will not work on MLO.
We are working on this area improvements.

How should stunnel be configured?
