[Done v1.5.6] EMAIL_TRANSPORT settings created by install/upgrade missing GMail

[swguy]

The possible values of this field don't include Gmail, although this value is checked for in includes/functions/functions_email.php since version 1.5.2.

[swguy]

This issue has been fixed in version 1.5.6.

[Narrator: "It wasn't."]

The 1.5.6 fix added Gmail for upgraders from 1.5.5 or prior but not for new installers.
This time for sure! Fixed in 1.5.8. PR: https://github.com/zencart/zencart/pull/3923

Users who need the Gmail value to show up in their Email Transport options list now should use this SQL update in Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches:
