Answer 1

Have you tried this?

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {  
  :address              => "smtp.gmail.com",  
  :port                 => 587,  
  :domain               => "gmail.com",  
  :user_name            => "myinfo@gmail.com",  
  :password             => "secret",  
  :authentication       => "plain"
  # :enable_starttls_auto => true # I don't have this, but it should work anyway 
} 

--------- EDIT

it it's sent maybe you don't receive it because of the spam filter, first thing to check:

class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  default :from => "myinfo@gmail.com"
  # ...
end

Answer 2

Check if the value of ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method is :smtp

Answer 3

I think you can change it inside config/initializers/devise.rb. No need for a new class I think?

#config/initializers/devise.rb
config.mailer_sender = 'youremail@gmail.com'

Answer 4

you should put that in devise initializer :

# Configure the class responsible to send e-mails.
  config.mailer = "YourAppDeviseMailer"

Then create a class that extends Devise::Mailer :

class YourAppDeviseMailer < Devise::Mailer
  default :from => 'your_email'

  def self.mailer_name
    "devise/mailer"
  end
end
