Scanning using GMail accounts

[teebee1234]

Ok, I cribbed this from the official Ricoh Tech Forum site (I posted this previously but this version is more understandable with additional info). I plan on trying this out on Monday, will post results.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Here's a guide that my engineering group & an analyst did to configure the new machines to scan to GMail."

Note: As soon as the Use Secure Connection option is selected the MFP uses port 465 only. No port settings will appear in User Tools once this is enabled. The setting in the WIM is ignored.
Note: only really new machines like an MP C2551 ; MP C3001 ; etc. support scanning to GMail.

thanks. I have a customer demanding scan to gmail function in kyocera 2550. any help pls?

I'm not familiar with the Kyocera, you may want to pose this question on their forum. I did a quick search over there and one recent thread stated Kyocera doesn't support SSL, so scanning to GMail may not work. But that doesn't mean there are not ways around it, so give them a shout and see what responses you get.

Hello teebee!
What about the Ricoh models that do not support SSL? Is there a way to go aroud?
Just need to change the port? or is there anything else?

[rsyarcia]

we have tried to configure scan to gmail with older machines, tried different ports,smtp,etc. but failed. With mpc 3001,mpc4501(most of the latest machines now support ssl over smtp) was able to make it work.

Thanks for that, info on scanning is often sketchy at best

[teebee1234]

I'm wondering if SSL can be implemented with a firmware fix, or does anyone know one way or another if it's possible. I'm considering calling tech support with that question, it would be nice to add it to the devices out since the MPC4500.

From everything I've heard, there is no intention of adding SSL for SMTP capabilities to older models.

Thanks Teebee. As always very good info.

BTW you can use gmail without SSL. Login to the gmail account & go to Mail Settings. Set Browser Connection to Don't Always Use HTTPS. The SMTP server is now aspmx.l.google.com on Port 25. This works with or without Authentication.

I actually got an MPC3501 to use SSL with GoDaddy yesterday. Yeah!

It used smtpout.secureserver.net, just as others have posted.

That's one!

Sorry the question:
You are saying that doing that, we are able to scan-to-mail with Gmail account in older machines? (MP171; MPC2050...)
