 * I set up your plugin but cannot send test emails and my contact form is not reaching
   its gmail destination.
 * With or without SSL / TLS 465 / 587.
 * So, I have been researching.
 * Should my gmail account IMAP settings be enabled ?
 * Should I add my gmail address to my server ?
 * Are there any other settings I should be concerned with ?
 * Should there be any changes to my DNS records, etc. ?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgmail-settings%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Is there a reason my support questions are. being ignored ?
 * I have seen other SMTP email setups and they all have google / gmail DNS records.
 * I do not see any reference to DNS records in your setup instructions.
 * Am I asking the wrong questions ?
 * Thanks in advance for your help.
