You can.

Here's an article on using gmail with Rails, although you don't need to use Rails to use Action Mailer.

It's dead simple.

here is what i tried,
require "smtp_tls"
require 'action_mailer'

class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base

    ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => "someone@openrain.com",
:password => "someonesPassword"
}

def Notifier.test_email(user_email)
       subject "Free C1Alis"
       from "system / example.com"
       recipients user_email
       body "Get large, #{user_email}!@"
     end

end

Notifier.deliver_test_email('testuser / gmail.com')

i get a error undefined method `test_email' for #<Notifier:0x5e2b1fc>
but that is how it is defiened ever wehre. to do a
Class.deliver_methodname
