• Using Formidable as my contact form plugin, and trying to get WP Mail SMTP to work because our web hosting is a rat’s nest of complication and I barely have any idea what I’m doing in order to try to get php mail functionality to work. I don’t even know if MTA or postfix is installed. I don’t even really know what those even are.

    I feel like just using a WordPress-specific host might alleviate this issue but I’m trying to see if I can get this to work before we take that route.

    Anyway…

    Our email addresses are all through Office 365

    When trying to configure WP Mail SMTP, I’ve entered all the SMTP info for Office 365:

    Office 365 SMTP Settings
    Host: smtp.office365.com
    Port: 587
    Username: Your Office 365 account email
    Password: Your Office 365 account password
    Encryption: TLS

    However, when I try to send a test email, I get this error:

    There was a problem while sending a test email. Related debugging output is shown below:

    WordPress: 4.9.4

    The same thing happens when trying to use Gmail SMTP:

    Gmail's Default SMTP Settings
    Gmail SMTP server address: smtp.gmail.com
    Gmail SMTP username: Your Gmail address (e.g. [email protected])
    Gmail SMTP password: Your Gmail password
    Gmail SMTP port (TLS): 587
    Gmail SMTP port (SSL): 465
    Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required: yes
