Since we use gmail for our company email, we found it to be a bit trickier to enter the information through Enterprise Console unless you update your password. To get around this, we edited the serverbiserver-eepentaho-solutionssystemsmtp-emailemail_config.xml file as shown below. Make note to change it to your own email and password.

<email-smtp> <!– The values within <properties> are passed directly to the JavaMail API. For a list of valid properties see http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/index.html –> <properties> <!– This is the address of your SMTP email server for sending email. e.g. smtp.pentaho.org –> <mail.smtp.host>smtp.gmail.com</mail.smtp.host> <!– This is the port of your SMTP email server.

In the Admin/Enterprise Console, it should look something like this:
default email address: system@datamensional.com
User ID: system@datamensional.com
SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port: 587
SMTP Protocol: smtp
