I changed the password to my gmail account because it had a special character in it. Unfortunately, I am still getting the "Could not Authenticate" error.
I have the SMTP Host set to: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port set to: 465
Encryption set to: Use SSL encryption
Authentication
Username: myGmailAddress
Password: myGmailPassword
array(19) {
["authenticate"]=>
string(35) "SMTP Error: Could not authenticate."
["connect_host"]=>
string(43) "SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host."
["data_not_accepted"]=>
string(30) "SMTP Error: data not accepted."
I do not use my Gmail account that much, but i tried sending email from it and it all appears to work fine.
Is it time to abandon this pluggin?
Please advise.
Thanks!
