I haven't had a good experience with mail.send It seems to block python which is a problem if you have a single process webserver (like Rocket, or apache on windows) . You should probably use the scheduler for sending mail (since this means the process which gets blocked is not the webserver).
gmail has a REST API which I assume is non blocking; I'm going to learn how to use that in the next couple of weeks for a client which has migrated to Google Apps. This is I hope a good, reusable solution for sending single emails without needing a mail processing queue via the scheduler.
