Gmail Configuration

Gmail is one of the most popular free email services. To configure Gmail for notifications in Traccar follow 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 Google support page with 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 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 following items in the above configuration:

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

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