Step 7 (Email Service) of the installation wizard is not clear with regards to choosing SSL under port 465.

In this case, should the EMAIL_USE_TLS option be set to True or False?

For gmail the option should be set to True. The email port is 587.

Also there are two gotchas. You need to include the domain name in the EMAIL_HOST_USER "exchange@example.com". Also the email host password has to be an app password

You can test SMTP by connecting with Thunderbird.
