## Gmail configuration
**NOTE**: This section explains how to reconfigure a gmail account that
is _already_ configured to use a torproject.org address. If you need to add
a new address from scratch, the process will be a little different.
1. Click on "Settings". (That should be the big gear icon towards thetop
right of your window.)
2. A "quick settings" menu should open. Click on the "See all settings"
button at the top of that menu.
3. This will take you to a "Settings" page. Click on the "Accounts and
Import" tab at the top of the page.
4. Under "Send mail as", find the address for <yourname@torproject.org>, and
lick the "edit info" link to the right of that account. (If the address isn't
there, then your gmail account isn't set up to use your TPO account. You'll
need to click "Add another email address" instead, and the process below will
be slightly different.)
5. A new "Edit email address" popup should open. Click "Next step" on it.
6. Finally, you'll be at a window that says "Edit email address". Fill it
out like this:
- Select "Send through torproject.org SMTP servers".
- Set "SMTP Server:" to "submission.torproject.org"
- Set "Port:" to 587.
- Set "Username:" to your username (_without_ "@torproject.org").
- Set "Password:" to the email submission password that you configured.
- Select "Use TLS", not "Use SSL".
Double-check everything, then click "Save Changes". Gmail will try
authenticating to the SMTP server; if it's successful, then the popup window
will close and your account will be updated.
