Jim,

My config for hg email and Gmail looks like this. Hope this helps.

[email]
from = Tom Hayward <esarfl at gmail.com>
method = smtp

[smtp]
host = smtp.gmail.com
port = 587
username = esarfl at gmail.com
password = xxxxxxxxxxxx
tls = True


I also have a distinct app password set up for hg email so it doesn't
use my main Google account password (or require 2-factor auth). You
can set those up here, if you want:
