    @gmail.com is optional for the gmail username entry. Gmail might prevent the email by sending you an alert "Suspicious sign in prevented" . It also give you the option to confirm it is actually you sending the email.

    Thank you Samera Jayasekara.

    Thank to your instruction. I follow what you say below:

    Select Mail Protocol: SMTP
    SMTP Host: ssl://smtp.gmail.com
    SMTP Username: your gmail username
    SMTP Password: your gmail password
    SMTP Port: 465

    the above did not work. Then I changed the port to:

    SMTP Port: 587

    It Works!

    Good morning,
    I have a problem with the settings of the email in OpenCart 2.1
    My settings are:

    Mail Protocol: SMTP
    SMTP hostname: smtpout.secureserver.net
    SMTP Username: info@lecoccolekids.com
    SMTP Password: xxxx
    SMTP Port: 465
    SMTP Timeout: 5

    with ssl enabled.

    The error that gives me is:
    1/27/2016 7:22:34 - PHP Notice: Error: EHLO not accepted from server! in /home/kids2/public_html/eshop/system/library/mail.php on line 199

    While if I put:

    SMTP Port: 3535
    SMTP Timeout: 5

    with ssl disabled.

    He tells me email sent, but the email does not arrive and the error log does not give me no errors.

    Services that the service has not been able to help me!
    Thank you!
