Today, I am going to show everybody a best practice, How to configure Magento 2 to send an email using Gmail SMTP server.
Why do you need to use Gmail SMTP server to send an email in Magento 2?
There are some reasons:
1. Your server does not allow sending an email.
2. You need to manage the emails are sent in your sent box.
3. You don’t want the emails you have sent it is put in the junk or spam of a customer.
Before doing this practice, you need to have a Gmail account and your Gmail account allows sending an email by SMTP. If you don’t set up your Gmail account yet, you can watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K5qFtMcmGk
Let’s do this practice, you need to follow steps by step:
Step 1: Install the new module named MagePal_GmailSmtpApp
– Using Composer, run the command lines following:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade (Install new modules)

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy (deploy the static content)
php bin/magento cache:flush (flush caches)
