mail.sendmessage with GMail

[borzoi]

Is mail.sendmessage able and operate with GMail?
I've set the following in alfresco-global.properties:

mail.host=smtp.gmail.com
mail.port=465
mail.username=myusername@gmail.com
mail.password=mypassword
mail.protocol=smtps
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.testmessage.send=true
mail.testmessage.to=my.email@my.domain.it
mail.testmessage.subject=Alfresco starte
mail.testmessage.text=Alfresco actually functioning.
notification.email.siteinvite=true

If I don't comment four mail.testmessage.* properties, I got the following error in Alfresco log:

[org.alfresco.repo.action.executer.MailActionExecuter] [localhost-startStop-1] Failed to send email to my.email@my.domain.it : org.springframework.mail.MailAuthenticationException: Authentication failed; nested exception is javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: 534-5.7.14 <https://accounts.google.com/ContinueSignIn?sarp=1&scc=1&plt=AKgnsbtLH

and, I'm also unable and log to Alfresco Share.
Any way to solve?
