Email settings reside in dspace.cfg file. Open the Terminal and apply following commands to add gmail configuration:

sudo su
leafpad /dspace/config/dspace.cfg

Find following each chunk of lines the configuration file and add Gmail credentials.

# SMTP mail server
mail.server = smtp.gmail.com


# SMTP mail server authentication username and password (if required)
mail.server.username = tom@gmail.com
mail.server.password = gmailpassword


# From address for mail
mail.from.address =
tom@gmail.com

# Currently limited to one recipient!
feedback.recipient =
tom@gmail.com

# General site administration (Webmaster) e-mail
mail.admin =

Find the following line,

mail.server.port = 465

Comment it,

#mail.server.port = 465
