To configure Confluence to use Gmail to send emails, you will need to create a JNDI mail session and then have Confluence use it as per this document.

Please see Setup a mail session in standalone version for some guidelines.

  1. Move activation-1.0.2.jar and mail-1.4.1.jar from /confluence/WEB-INF/lib to <tomcat-install>/common/lib (Tomcat 5.5) or <tomcat-install>/lib (Tomcat 6).
  2. Paste the following code in confluence.xml or server.xml (substitute username and password):
    Tomcat 5.5 or Tomcat 6
  3. Add java:comp/env/mail/Session to your JNDI mail configuration from Administration > Mail Servers.

Note: You may optionally add mail.debug=true into the <Resource> to see logs generated by JavaMail.
