SMTP Error: Connection Timed Out (110)

Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total)

  • I was able to get it to work, using a Gmail account. Here are the relevant settings:

    Mailer: Send all WordPress emails via SMTP.
    SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
    SMTP Port: 587
    Encryption: Use TLS encryption.
    Authentication: Yes: Use SMTP authentication.
    Username: [your – entire – Gmail or Google Apps email address]
    Password: [your password for your Gmail or Google Apps email account]

    Thanks Pablo. I tried exactly those settings, but it still failed. Google told me it works easier for Gmail accounts than for Google Apps for Business accounts due to lesser security…

    I still get “SMTP connect() failed.”

    Thoughts?

    Weird. I also have a (custom) Google Apps for Business email address and that worked, too. I wonder if I have a setting enabled in my domain’s admin console that you don’t.

    Do you have a generic Gmail address that you can plug in, for testing purposes? Perhaps that can help isolate the problem.
