The unfortunate answer is that you’re not likely going to be able to do this with gmail & the Adobe scripts provided.

The more technical answer is that gmail’s SMTP server requires an authentication feature called “TLS”, which essentially establishes a secure connection between the the server and your script. You can’t easily script a TLS connection stuff using the existing Adobe scripts, and gmail won’t work without it.

TLS isn’t a always a requirement for email across the board, and the included scripts in AE will work fine with most SMTP servers. Google, however, isn’t one of them.

Not saying someone couldn’t write something that works, but tweaking the existing one won’t. Sorry.
