The ``gmail`` transport is simply a shortcut that uses the ``smtp`` transport
and sets ``encryption``, ``auth_mode`` and ``host`` to work with Gmail.

.. note::

Depending on your Gmail account settings, you may get authentication errors within your app.
If your Gmail account uses 2-Step-Verification, you should `generate an App password`_ to use for your
``mailer_password`` parameter.
