Gmail email doesn't work by default
Reported by Imran | September 8th, 2011 @ 08:23 PM | in 2.0.1 (closed)
In config.php I have:
define("SMTP_SERVER",'smtp.gmail.com');
define("SMTP_PORT",'465');
define("SMTP_AUTHTYPE",'LOGIN');
define("SMTP_USERNAME",'myemail@gmail.com');
define("SMTP_PASSWORD",'******');
It does not work, debugging lead me to the solution, in framework/core/subsystems/expMail.php line 142 replace:
$this->transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance(SMTP_SERVER, SMTP_PORT)
with:
$this->transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance(SMTP_SERVER, SMTP_PORT, "ssl")
It appears with the move to Swift-4, the SMTP_AUTHTYPE constant is unused. This is why it doesn't work by default.

(from [685ff4e04073af7c35243574b00855f0f30e7786]) Adds encryption protocol to expMail allowing connection to SMTP servers using SSL or TLS encryption in addition to 'None' which previously was the method used. The 'Authentication Type' setting/option was removed since it isn't/wasn't used. Swift uses authentication based on the username being filled in.[#330 state:resolved milestone:2.0.1] https://github.com/exponentcms/exponent-cms/commit/685ff4e04073af7c...
