Why not? Just download several files' latest version(namely,
smthmail.el, pop3.el, starttls.el and ssh.el), place them under your
site-lisp directory, set the following, you're done.

  (require 'starttls)
  (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
        smtpmail-smtp-service 587
        smtpmail-auth-credentials
        '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 "william.xwl@gmail.com" "password"))
        smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil)))

The number of licorice gumballs you get out of a gumball machine
increases in direct proportion to how much you hate licorice.
