Introduction

Email protection, Email Authentication, Mailing & Distribution Lists, Email, Mailing & Newsletter bridges

πŸ“§ Send every Joomla email through Gmail, without a Gmail password on your site. Gmail SMTP Connect signs in to Google once with OAuth 2.0 and sends contact form replies, registrations, password resets and every other site email through Gmail's SMTP server. It is for Joomla site owners and agencies who send their site's email from a Gmail account.

This is a paid extension. A subscription covers 1, 3, 5 or unlimited sites, includes 1 year of updates and support, and the extension keeps working after it expires: https://www.web357.com/gmail-smtp-connect-joomla-plugin/pricing

Works with Joomla 4, 5 and 6.

Why It's a Game-Changer

🔐 No Gmail password in Joomla
You sign in with Google once. The plugin stores an OAuth token and renews it on its own.

📮 Every extension sends through Gmail
The plugin takes over Joomla's mailer, so core forms, registrations and third-party extensions need no extra setup.

🧭 Setup with a guide for every screen
Create an OAuth client in Google Cloud, paste two values into the plugin and click Authenticate with Gmail.

✅ Know that it works
A connection status and a test email show that mail goes out before your visitors need it.

🛠️ Clear help when the host blocks SMTP
If your server cannot reach smtp.gmail.com, the test email reports it and the docs list what to ask your host.

Key Features

  • OAuth 2.0 sign-in with Google, so no Gmail password is stored on your site
  • Sends through smtp.gmail.com with TLS on port 587 or SSL on port 465
  • Overrides Joomla's core mail; the SMTP fields in Global Configuration are dimmed while the plugin is active
  • Works with any extension that uses Joomla's mailer: contact forms, registration, password reset, shop and membership emails
  • Authorized Redirect URI ready to copy from the plugin into Google Cloud
  • From Name setting for the sender name your recipients see
  • The access token renews itself after the first sign-in
  • Send Test Email form and a Gmail Authentication Status that shows the connection
  • Delete Access Key to remove the stored token from Joomla, with a link to revoke the app in your Google account
  • Option to skip SSL certificate verification on servers with a broken certificate chain
  • Step-by-step Google Cloud guide and troubleshooting for common errors
