As you can see, this is how i did my SMTP setup: 


- If you can tell from the picture whats wrong, please let me know! :-)

Hi, your host name and email are not correct, Gmail is not a valid host, and your email should be an account created through your server mail.

Areyou using cpanel? If so I can guide you through the steps to correct it.

Yes i got cpanel. Can you make a quick step-by-step guide?

try use
SMTP port 465
SSL encryption instead of TLS encryption

you can use gmail...

Yes, I prefer cpanel.

#1 Your SMTP host needs to be: mail.yourdomain.com

#Use port 25

Is it required, that my admin user use the same mail as my SMTP?

Hey bud,
it was hard for me to get it set up, it took me two days to figure it out.
your password must be your cpanel password, not your admin password,
your admin email must be your cpanel email, this is for cpanel setup,

myself, I even contacted my host company and asked them for my SMTP info
and they sent it to me,
let us know how it goes so we can help you get this going!

Let us start by creating an email accountin cpanel,




Okay so now we are creating an email account in cpanel,
Very *IMPORTANT: the password you create here is the password that you
use on the SMTP setup page.




Note:





Okay cool, lets see if you can get it going now, if you have any issues, please let me know and we will continue to get you set up! Good luck!

Well written guide, though. But im still struggling. Doesn't seems to work.
