Previous responders said:
o Maybe GMail doesn't allow sending emails without their web interface
o Gmail doesn't allow to use SMTP in a classic way (normal auth
with/without encryption).
I can confirm that GMail does allow sending emails through other means
(not only “git send-email”, but any email client). But it is true that
recently GMail removed the ability to use your the password of your
Google account directly (remember “Less Secure Apps”?). Instead you'd
have to use either OAuth2 or an app-specific password[1].
The relevant part of my gitconfig:
[sendemail]
smtpServer = smtp.gmail.com
smtpServerPort = 587
smtpEncryption = tls
smtpUser = 3nan.ajm...@gmail.com
; smtpPass = gmail app pass
