email will not authenticate

Post by ramzi » Wed Feb 11, 2015 3:11 pm

I use GMAIL linked to my OD to send emails

I changed my GMAIL password yesterday

I updated the new password in OD (setup>email>)

but emails are not being sent

error states that its not being authenticated (code 5.5.1)

im sure the password is correct

any idea what im doing wrong?

thoughts? advise? thanks

You might try changing your port in OD from 587 to 465
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

Gmail will sometimes require 2 Step Authentication. Did you turn that on?
