     smtp_settings:
       enable_starttls_auto: true
       address: "smtp.gmail.com"

==== To config redmine to use gmail to send out emails ====

To automatically fetch emails every 5 minutes, use a cron job. Note to create redmineread and redineerror label in gmail first. If your password is complex enough, remember to quote them.
