Troubleshooting

Authentication Error

• Gmail: Make sure to use an App Password, not your regular password
• Office 365: Verify that SMTP authentication is enabled for your mailbox
• Double-check the username and password are correct

Connection Error / Timeout

• Verify the host and port are correct
• Some hosting providers block port 25; use 587 or 465 instead
• If you use a firewall, make sure the port is open

Invalid SSL Certificate

• Enable Secure if using port 465
• In testing environments, you can temporarily disable Reject Unauthorized (not recommended in production)

After configuring the credential, use the Test Connection button in the form to verify that the data is correct before saving.
