Why can't I use google's SMTP with prestashop? I've followed countless online guides but I always have an issue with authentication. I'm using the correct login and pw. I even created a new email specifically for this and it just won't authenticate. Did google shut down the availability of their smtp servers to prestashop users?
Google isn't very clear either. When you create the app password, I don't know if it's showing the image as an example or if you're supposed to use the email on the screen. But they show "[email protected]" It doesn't matter if I use that or my actual email address, it can not authenticate. How can I get email to work on this? I'm self hosting so port 25 is blocked, but 587 and 446 are opened. Is this on my end or did google make a policy change that broke everything for prestashop?
