I installed the TLS as described on this page and verified that the package is installed.
I restarted the Apache server, logged in to BugZilla as admin and went to Administration -> Parameters -> Email
.
I can't see the option for SMTP::TLS
under mail_delivery_method
as described in the article linked above. How do I enable this option?

For anyone trying to set up Bugzilla's email feature to use Gmail on a windows machine, I just spent two and a half days at work with dawood's solution http://www.dawood.in/bugzilla_alerts_using_gmail.html, to no avail. My machine is running 64 bit Windows 7, And I eventually did find a solution, skip to the third paragraph for that. Here's why Dawood's solution won't work for most windows users:
Chances are, if you installed Bugzilla the by following the (awesome) tutorials, you installed ActivePerl. The Email::Send::SMTP::TLS perl package that Dawood's solution revolves around depends upon an Email::SMTP::TLS::ButMaintained package, which, in turn, depends upon a Net::SSLeay package. (This is why, even after following Dawood's instructions and modifying Mailer.pm, no "SMTP::TLS" option appears in the drop down list. The dependencies aren't resolved.) The trouble is, Net::SSLeay will only install if it is compiled with THE SAME compiler you used to compile Perl. In addition, The documentation says: "Please do not even dream of copying a perl binary or installing perl binary from a package." Oh... whoops... ActivePerl is binary installed from a package. Since that won't work, here's what will.
