  • Your question is really two different questions: 1) How to setup CiviMail (this based on the screenshot you provided, 2) How do I configure CiviCRM's SMTP interface to integrate with Google mail. You should split this up into two questions, and provide details as to your CiviCRM version and CMS (and it's version).

    Remote SMTP via Google Apps works, but there are sending limits and it's not the fastest due to network delays. It may be suitable for smaller sites and local dev environments; if you're sending a lot of mail this question/answer and this q/a are worth a look.

Configuring CiviCRM SMTP for using Google Mail's SMTP services: SMTP Server: ssl://smtp.gmail.com SMTP Port: 465 Authentication: Yes SMTP Username: <your valid Google mail username> SMTP Password: <your valid Google mail password>

Finally, you likely need to tell Google that you wish to allow this level of access. See here: support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en
