Gmail Configuration

Gmail is one of the most popular free email services. To configure Gmail for notifications in Traccar, follow the steps below.

Assuming that you are using two-factor authentication for your Google account, first you have to create an app password:

• Go to your Google Account.
• On the left navigation panel, choose Security.
• On the "Signing in to Google" panel, choose App Passwords. If you don't see this option, check the Google support page for more details.
• At the bottom, choose Select app and choose Mail.
• Choose Select device and choose Other. Enter "Traccar" as a name.
• Choose Generate.
• The App Password is the 16-character code in the yellow bar on your device. Copy it into the configuration below.
• Choose Done.

Add the following lines to the Traccar configuration file:

<entry key='mail.smtp.port'>587</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.starttls.enable'>true</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.host'>smtp.gmail.com</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.from'>YourAddress@gmail.com</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.auth'>true</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.username'>YourAddress@gmail.com</entry>
<entry key='mail.smtp.password'>YourPassword</entry>

You have to replace the following items in the above configuration:

• YourAddress@gmail.com - your Gmail address. It will be used as a sender address.
• YourPassword - the App Password that we created in the first part. Don't include spaces.

Note that the recipient address is your Traccar user email address. Make sure it's a valid address.
