Sending notification email through Google

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
How do I send WordPress emails through a SMTP gateway?
Solution:
Plugins such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ may help. WordPress uses PHP's sendmail which may or not be blocked on your server. This allows you to use an email account for sending Wordpress emails.

I am trying to send notifications email through Cred using Gmail servers as the "From."

Where/how can this be configured?

Thank you for contacting Toolset support, I'd be delighted to assist!

As all mailings are handled by the WordPress core (wp_mail), you'd need something to modify how WordPress sends out emails.

Something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ would do the job, there are many out there so feel free to explore which SMTP plugin works best.

Enjoy your weekend!
