Body: <p>Our Association has implemented CiviCRM (version 5.75.2) in our WordPress site jemseggrandlakewatershed.ca .  We are trying to configure the CiviCRM Settings - Outbound Mail in the Configuration Checklist as shown in the screenshots<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/z1yv3wg5.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/z1yv3wg5.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a> below. The pop-up window says the email was sent, but it was never received.  We used the mail() option which, as we understand it, uses the PHP <code>mail</code> function.  We also tried the SMTP option, but this requests the SMTP server name and SMTP port name.  Can we get CiviCRM to send email messages from our jemseggrandlakewatershed@gmail.com email address?

Comments.Text: Did you manage to sort out your email problem? I am trying to set up through my gmail account using these instructions (imap) https://civicrm.org/blog/dahndy/leveraging-civicrm-email-to-activity-processing-in-gmail and I had a similar problem - the emailing appeared to send, but wasn't actually received. If you have sorted it out - I would love to know how you did it!
