Setting Email in NopCommerce 2.20

Hi, I've been trying to set the email in NopCommerce 2.20. I'm putting:

I tried: http://strivingprogrammers.com/boards/t/50/how-to-setup-contact-us-form-in-nopcommerce-solved.aspx?p=1
Email address: [email protected]
Email display name: Me    
Host: smpt.gmail.com  
Port: 465
User: [email protected]  
Password: mypassword  
SSL: yes
Use default credentials: no
But when I test it, IT DOESN'T WORK.

Also I tried: https://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/817/mail-settings.aspx?p=3
Store Admin Email:  [WHATEVER YOU WANT THE EMAILS COMING FROM]
Store Admin Email Display Name:  [WHATEVER YOU WANT THE FROM NAME TO DISPLAY AS]
Host:  relay-hosting.secureserver.net
Port:  25
Username:  LEAVE BLANK!!!
Password:  LEAVE BLANK!!!
Enable SSL:  UNCHECKED
Use default Credentials:  UNCHECKED
IT DOESN'T WORK EITHER

Nothing seem to work and I'm gettin frustrated already. Can somebody help me please, please, or tell me what I'm doing wrong. Does it has to do with [email protected] I'm logged in as? I don't know what to do, please heeelp

Thanks
Liz

Setup for a Gmail Account that worked for me  (yes, port 587 with SSL checked)

Store Admin Email: [email protected]
Store Admin Email Display Name: YOURSTORENAME OR Any name you want
Host:  smtp.gmail.com
Port:  587
User:  [email protected]
Password:   PasswordOfYourGmailAccount
Enable SSL:  Yes [Check Mark]
Use default credentials: DO NOT CHECK (LEAVE IT UN-CHECKED)

YAYYYY!! it worked!!

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH

My test email works fine, it can send email.  However when I register a new user or use password recover, no email is sent.  Appreciate for any help.

I think it was just a delay issue ....it's working now

I set up my email with the above GMAIL settings and cannot get the test email to work.  I was successful at setting up another mail server email account but GMAIL is not working.  

Store Admin Email: [email protected]
Store Admin Email Display Name: my name here
Host:  smtp.gmail.com
Port:  587
User:  [email protected]
Password:   PasswordOfYourGmailAccount
Enable SSL:  Yes [Check Mark]
Use default credentials: DO NOT CHECK (LEAVE IT UN-CHECKED)

Any suggestions? Is there anything new with nop? I am using 3.20

The error reads:
The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required. Learn more at

This is not nopCommerce issue, all you need to enable 3rd party application to access your gmail account. Follow this steps to fix this:
1. Login to your gmail account.
2. Visit this page https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and click on button to allow access.
3. Visit this page https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and enable access for less secure apps.
4. Login to your nopCommerce admin portal and visit this page http://website_name.com/Admin/EmailAccount/List and click edit  and click to delete the account.
5. Now use following details:
   Email address: [email protected]
   E display name: your website name
   Host: smtp.gmail.com
   User: [email protected]
   Password: password, remember to click change password button if you are editing any existing account
   SSL: tick to select it
   Use default credentials: uncheck, do not select it
6. Click on save button above.
7. Test the mailing by entering your email id and click on send test email button.
