    Can anyone tell me how to set up the SMTP Server on a website so that mails send from the Feedback module will be send to my own gmail account?

      Hmmm...  I haven't tried doing that in many years...  🤔 

      This appears to look correct to me:  https://www.saleshandy.co...ettings/  

      You'd just add the port number with the domain name, such as smtp.gmail.com:587.  

      The only other thing I'd add is that you should try to use any actual commercial SMTP relay provider.  They can keep your email address and domain name from getting blocked by email servers, should any spam reports or issues occur.  Also, those systems include a lot of troubleshooting and other features that relaying through your actual email account can't help you with. 

      For example, if someone says they sent something or never received it, you can look that up and potentially fix the issue when you use an actual relay provider, such as SendGrid or Amazon SES.

          Did you create an app password in Gmail?
