   Hello I recently purchased your software and everything is working great so far except my email notifications. I read some of the other forums, but could not find the answer I needed.

   I have a gmail account that I would like my form notifications to go to but have not had any success getting it to work.

   I checked the box "Use STMP Server to Send Emails"
   STMP Server "smtp.gmail.com"
   Use Authentication "Yes"
   Use TLS/SSL "Yes"
   SMTP User Name "info@therandallgrp.com"
   SMTP Password "***emailpassword***"
   SMTP Port "465"

   Under the email settings for the specific form, I put:
   Your Email address "info@therandallgrp.com"

   The email address is being provided by wix.com but they use gmail. I am not sure if this has anything to do with why I can't receive notifications.
   I have MachForms set up locally on my wampserver and am not sure if there are any additional settings that should be changed to make it work.

   Is there an easier way to receive email notifications?

   Let me know if you need additional information.

   Thank you.

   Gmail will use your SMTP username as the "Sender" regardless of your "From Email Address" setting.
   So, in this case the "Sender" is "info@therandallgrp.com" and the "Receiver" is "info@therandallgrp.com" as well.

   I don't think Gmail would allow that.
   You'll need to change the "Your Email Address" to something else.

   If you keep having trouble with Gmail SMTP server, I suggest to use Mandrill for the SMTP server.

   They worked great:
