Hi,
I just downloaded WP Mail SMTP today so that I could change the address of outgoing mail from wordpress@mydomain.com to myusername@mydomain.com.
When customising the settings to set up WP Mail SMTP, in the "From Email" I have entered myusername@mydomain.com and then my name in the "From Name". For "Mailer" I have selected "Send all WordPress emails via SMTP.". I have also checked the "Return Path".
In SMTP options, from doing online searches I read that the gmail SMTP settings are smtp.gmail.com and the port is either 587 or 465 depending on whether it is TLS or SSL. Is this correct? And what would I choose as "SMTP Host" and "SMTP Port". I have tried all the different combinations I could find and I still receive the error "SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused (111)".
Beneath the choices for "SMTP Host" and "SMTP Port" I have selected "Yes: Use SMTP authentication", and then input the username (myusername@mydomain.com) and password that I use to access my email.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
