Documentation for JIRA 4.0. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.

This page describes how to use Gmail for both SMTP and POP3 mail.

Configuring GMail for Outgoing Mail (SMTP)

Follow the instructions from Configuring JIRA to Send SMTP Mail:

  1. Import the SSL certificate from Gmail.
  2. Move the activation and mail jar files from the /WEB-INF/lib folder to the /common/lib (Tomcat 5.5) or /lib (Tomcat 6) folder.
  3. Add Gmail as a JNDI Resource in /conf/server.xml. Change your username and password.
  4. When configuring the SMTP server in JIRA's interface, use the JNDI setting. The proper value (if using the default example), is java:comp/env/mail/GmailSmtpServer.

Configuring GMail for Incoming Mail (POP)

To use Gmail, for example, as a create and comment mail handler:

  1. If you did not import the SSL certificate from Gmail for the SMTP server, refer to the SSL section in Configuring JIRA to Send SMTP Mail.
  2. Enable POP access in GMail's settings
  3. Add a POP3 mail account
