Thanks NgCasper, the only modification to your step-by-step procedure was to add to step 2a the ":465" so it would be "SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com:465"

1. login to your google account and allow lowered security setting(switch on) : https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

2. setting on your MT4>Tools>Options>Email :
a. SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com:465
b. SMTP login: your gmail account (***@gmail.com)
c. SMTP password: your gmail password
d. From: your gmail account (same as b.)
e. To: Destination email account

3. After finished the setting, press the Test button.

hi all just to let you know if you have two stage verification turned on google email this will not send your notifications and you have to turn that off on your google account settings to receive emails
also i found out that if you add :465 to the end of your smtp settings ie smpt.gmail.com:465 it works fine

For those who want to use gmail to send email, i had tried the step below and its work.
You must follow:
1. login to your google account and allow lowered security setting(switch on) : https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
Enabling access for "less secure apps" means that the client/app doesn't use OAuth 2.0 . OAuth 2.0 is the industry-standard protocol for authorization. When you sign in with OAuth 2.0, you sign in to Google's system directly. In OAuth 2.0 , you authenticate directly to Gmail with your credentials and authorize an app to do certain things. The third-party app only sees an authorization token provided by Google as proof that you authenticated correctly and agreed to authorize that app.

I read all the posts and tried the one above as it seemed the easiest and "Voila!" it worked like a charm. We have a great community here - nothing but resources. Thank you all very much.

It looks like Gmail is not supporting MT4 messages anymore. Any ideas?

answering to my question. Yes there is a solution that worked fine.
No need to change gmail, you have to increase the security level.
You setup the 2 step verification and the select apps. You set it up for email and for windows.
The application will create a long password and you have to use this password on metatrader instead of your usual password.

I tried this with the 16 digit password and it says "mail login to smtp failed" any other thoughts or ideas. I really depend on the email alerts for my trades, so I don't have to sit at the computer. Any help would be appreciated.
