SMTP Configuration for Gmail
Most times, Gmail by default blocks any outside SMTP connection for security purposes and requires SMTP authentication.
To do that:
- Sign into your Gmail account.
- Open this link https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
- Switch on the “Allow less-secure apps” toggle.
- Go to https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
- Click Continue, you will get the heading “Account access enabled”.
- Go back to Enerpize’s SMTP Settings and Click “Save” again.
- Your SMTP will be enabled successfully and you will receive a test email from Enerpize for confirmation.
SMTP Configuration for Outlook
Getting an error message if you’re an Outlook user means Outlook has blocked outside SMTP connection for security.
To enable access:
- Go to https://account.live.com/Activity
- Sign in to your Outlook account.
- A page appears with your recent activity on your account, including the SMTP blocking.
- Click “This was me” to authenticate your activity.
- Go back to Enerpize’s SMTP Settings and Click “Save” again.
- Your SMTP will be enabled successfully and you will receive a test email from Enerpize for confirmation.
