Configure the mail-service.xml in JBoss with a Gmail account - email

Question

I want to configure my mail-service.xml to send emails from my Gmail account. I have made a configuration, but it doesn't work
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server>
<mbean code="org.jboss.mail.MailService"
name="jboss:service=Mail">
<attribute name="JNDIName">java:/Mail</attribute>
<attribute name="User">***#gmail.com</attribute>
<attribute name="Password">***</attribute>
<attribute name="Configuration">
<configuration>
<property name="mail.smtp.auth" value="true"/>
<property name="mail.smtp.starttls.enable" value="true"/>
<property name="mail.smtp.socketFactory.class" value="javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory"/>
<!-- Change to your mail server prototocol -->
<property name="mail.store.protocol" value="pop3"/>
<property name="mail.transport.protocol" value="smtp"/>
<!-- Change to the user who will receive mail -->
<property name="mail.user" value="nobody"/>
<!-- Change to the mail server -->
<property name="mail.pop3.host" value="pop3.nosuchhost.nosuchdomain.com"/>
<!-- Change to the SMTP gateway server -->
<property name="mail.smtp.host" value="smtp.gmail.com"/>
<!-- The mail server port -->
<property name="mail.smtp.port" value="465"/>
<!-- Change to the address mail will be from -->
<property name="mail.from" value="nobody#nosuchhost.nosuchdomain.com"/>
<!-- Enable debugging output from the javamail classes -->
<property name="mail.debug" value="false"/>
</configuration>
</attribute>
<depends>jboss:service=Naming</depends>
</mbean>
</server>

Answer 1

I struggled with this too, but eventually got it working. I wrote up what I did here:

You need to add the following to the mail-service.xml:
<property name="mail.smtp.user" value="${username}#gmail.com" />
<property name="mail.smtp.password" value="${password}" />
<property name="mail.smtp.ssl.enable" value="true" />

Answer 2

You didn't set the host properly.Try this one
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
