How to Set up Gmail in Goldmine

Goldmine is a customer relationship management (CRM) application developed by FrontRange. It's a database-driven Windows application that offers a range of customer management features for businesses. Unfortunately, Goldmine lacks support for using secure-socket layers (SSL) to secure email transfers. To use Gmail with a desktop CRM application, you must use SSL. To enable Gmail support in Goldmine, you must first install and configure a program called Stunnel.
