Host Change: Fixed to smtp.gmail.com.
Security Mapping: Gmail typically uses TLS on port 587 or SSL on port 465. I’ve added a dropdown to the Settings page so you can toggle between them depending on your server environment.
SMTP Options: Added a bypass for SSL verification peer checks. In modern PHP environments, local certificates can sometimes cause handshake failures with Gmail; this ensures the connection is forced through.
App Password Requirement: Standard Gmail passwords won’t work due to Google’s security policies. You mustgenerate a 16-digit App Password from your Google Account security panel.
