Email function didn't work when I used Gmail SMTP.

[2ndparadise]

I wanted to set up email through gmail SMTP as attached picture.

I'm getting the following error.  I googled solutions but nothing works for me.  Is it possible I can fix it by modify source codes?  Any suggestion?

 

Mail domain name:

SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com

SMTP user: [email protected] 

SMTP password:

Encryption: SSL

Port: 465 

 

Error: Please check your configuration
Authentication failed using username '[email protected]' and password '********'

 

 

Thank you,

 

Steven

Hello Steve,

 

I just hate how this crucial thing is not given any importance by the presta team.

 

The issue is that prestashop uses an email library called Swift mailer. Things got going while they didn't update the library equipped with presta.

 

I have trying to figure out the emailing issues with prestashop and it turned out to be the library. SMTP with prestashop does not work period.

 

I just wished someone informed of all this at the time but i'm here anyway to save you time.

 

you got two solutions, whether buy this update for the library or update them yourself which would be difficult if you don't have knowledge of whats going on:

Please refer to this subject for further info:

I have used that update and since then, I have kissed SMTP issues a goodbye.

 

Good luck.
