Our Mule flow will be :-

Just remember to add a Gmail connector at the top and in SMTP outbound you can see the user attribute should have parsed mail id.. For example if your mail id is abc@gmail.com , you should write here abc%40gmail.com. That’s how it works here.

To test the application, if we hit the url http://localhost:8081/mail , we will get in our log :-

You can see in logs the mail has been send

You can check your mail, you will get your mail in your mailbox :-
