not work.
what is the easiest way for testing SMTP email Send?
Enable IMAP in Gmail ( do not forget )

Outgoing Mail (SMTP), check the box next to 'This server requires a secure connection (SSL).'
Enter '465' in the 'Outgoing mail (SMTP)' field.
Under Incoming mail (IMAP), check the box next to 'This server requires a secure connection (SSL)'. The port will change to '993'.

Thanks for reply but;
Where exactly are this setting?
Gmail ( smtp) in order for it to work you need to configure it correctly or it will not work
Incoming server must be 993, and must use SSL encryption.
Outgoing server use 587, TLS encryption.
Yes I also had problems to at 1 point setting up gmail ( smtp ) your not the only one bro. Wink
You will also have to set up your smtp in a mail client in order for it to work along side with your web mail ... like a mail server
I steel can't find it in gmail setting. (but i see this setting in Microsoft outlook.)

My mail client (outlook 2007) work good with this Gmail SMTP setting. but problem in MyBB not solving.
With php mail handler in MyBB setting, my email goes to spam folder.
Sad
thats normal .... Gmail does a good job of filtering spam
also use the same settings as you have in outlook in mybb?
