You should use auth-source to set login and passwd:
Write in ~/.authinfo or ~/.authinfo.gpg

,----[ .authinfo ]
| machine smtp.gmail.com port 587 login xxx password xxx
`----

(defun* tv-get-gmail (&key mail password)
  (let* ((gmail
          (auth-source-user-or-password
           '("login" "password") "smtp.gmail.com" "587"))
         (name (car gmail))
         (pass (cadr gmail)))
    (cond (mail name)
          (password pass)
          (t gmail))))

and 

(let ((gmail-notifier-username (tv-get-gmail :mail t))
      (gmail-notifier-password (tv-get-gmail :password t)))
   (do-something-here))

There is also now secret.el that allow storing password, but i have no
idea how it work. May be Ted can provide examples ;-).
