devise forgot password email not received

Question

I am facing issue with devise forgot password.I am not receiving any email though devise displays messsage that "you will receive an email with instructions about how to reset your password in a few minutes".

Ruby-1.9.3 Rails 3.2 devise 2.2.4

My environments/development.rb

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.default :charset => "utf-8"


ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:authentication => :plain,
:domain => '[email protected]',
:user_name => '[email protected]',
:password => 'abcde',
 }

My environment.rb ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp

My intializers/devise.rb

config.mailer_sender = "[email protected]"

And development.log shows

As have been mentioned above in development mode mails aren't being send for real, if you're curious how that's obtained (and maybe want to override that behavior) look into the following file config/environments/development.rb:

  #don't send emails in development
  config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = false

Of course it would be better to use some mailtrap but if you want to just quickly see mail in your mailbox just change that false to true and here it goes if you've got properly configured mailer of course.

Edit:

That's my config for gmail and it works, there is no domain param so probably it's making trouble:

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
      :address              => "smtp.gmail.com",
      :port                 => 587,
      :user_name            => '<login>',
      :password             => '<password>',
      :authentication       => 'plain',
      :enable_starttls_auto => true  }

Edit2: And don't forget to restart your server ;)
