Answer 1

On a Windows 8.1 machine I got Send-MailMessage to send an email with an attachment through Gmail using the following script:

$EmFrom = "user@gmail.com"
$username = "user@gmail.com"
$pwd = "YOURPASSWORD"
$EmTo = "recipient@theiremail.com"
$Server = "smtp.gmail.com"
$port = 587
$Subj = "Test"
$Bod = "Test 123"
$Att = "c:\Filename.FileType"
$securepwd = ConvertTo-SecureString $pwd -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $username, $securepwd
Send-MailMessage -To $EmTo -From $EmFrom -Body $Bod -Subject $Subj -Attachments $Att -SmtpServer $Server -port $port -UseSsl  -Credential $cred
