Hello,

I have problem to set-up gmail account. I tried everything on the forum, still have problems.

This is how i configure it:

email address: [email protected]
Diplay name: Test
Host: smtp.gmail.com
port: 587
user: [email protected]
password: password
ssl: checked
use default credentials: not checked

When i try to send test e-mail i get this message:
The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required

Please let me know how can i fix this, because its crucial to our client.

Thank you

Uncheck the SSL > Save the changes.

Try sending a test email now and if it does not send, check the SSL again, save changes (try sending the test mail again).

Please post results.

Please double check your credentials as per this article: http://www.strivingprogrammers.com/Blog/post/Lavish-Kumar/30/How-to-setup-Contact-Us-form-in-your-nopCommerce-store/

When i uncheck ssl error again:

The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. ef10sm32502901wjd.49 - gsmtp

When i check back SSL:

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

Did you click on Change Password after typing the password. Save and edit won't save the new password.

How are you saving the password here? Make sure to "Save" the changes.

I manage to solve this. Configuration is not the problem. You should change settings on Gmail.

1st: https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps : Should be Turned on.

2nd: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/displayunlockcaptcha

And all works now :)
