Gmail SMTP Test Email Showing error

Hi, please check the Gmail settings in the following documentation.

Let me know if the above helps you.

Thank you

Hey, I’m getting the same thing error.

CLIENT -> SERVER: EHLO ppcsamurai.com
CLIENT -> SERVER: AUTH LOGIN
CLIENT -> SERVER: [credentials hidden]CLIENT -> SERVER: [credentials hidden]SMTP ERROR: Password command failed: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at
535 5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials n5sm249340pgm.29 – gsmtp

I used the SMTP settings from the settings provided:
Gmail
SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
Type of Encryption: TLS
SMTP Port: 587

It appears Google is not allowing the plug-in to authenticate on my behalf. I received the below notification from Google :

Sign-in attempt was blocked
<email of my account>

Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your account from a non-Google app. Google blocked them, but you should check what happened. Review your account activity to make sure no one else has access.

I can’t work out how to let Google accept the login from the plug-in – Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,
Tom

ok, sorry – it appears I had the wrong port number when it triggered this error. I had used 465.

I have updated the port to 587 – so all the details are correct as per:
Gmail
SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
Type of Encryption: TLS
SMTP Port: 587

I now get this error – I see from your pinned post this is something incorrect with the SMTP settings?

SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: (0)

Thanks,
Tom

@tomppcsamurai, can you start a new support thread.

Thank you
