# [Plugin: Gmail SMTP]

 * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-gmail-smtp/)
 * WI have been trying to set up my website to send me emails via contact form, 
   and opted to try GMail SMTP, since they would not send through regular WordPress
   PHP mail.
 * When I sent myself a test mail, my admin panel hung for about 3 minutes while
   the loading bar at the bottom said “waiting for fuzzy.love”
 * I finally got a timeout error with this log:
    ‘Connection: opening to smtp.gmail.
   com:587, timeout=300, options=array () Connection: opened SMTP -> get_lines():
