config.yml

swiftmailer:
   transport: gmail
   host:      smtp.gmail.com
   username:  'Yourmail@gmail.com'
   password:  'Password'

Answer 2

You can either specify the parameters directly in the Swift mailer cofiguration or read them from parameters.ini.

Example:

In parameters.ini

mailer_transport  = smtp
mailer_host       = localhost
mailer_user       = null    
mailer_password   = null

In config.yml,

# Swiftmailer Configuration
swiftmailer:
    transport: smtp
    encryption: ssl
    auth_mode: login
    host:      smtp.gmail.com
    username:  user@xyz.com
    password:  password
    spool:
      type: file
      path: "%kernel.root_dir%/extras/spool"

Here, 'path' is the path to the directory where the spooled mails are stored.
