Hello,

I'm trying to set my gmail account as the XenForo email (On XenForo Email Options). This is the configuration I have:

And this is the error I've got. How can I fix this issue?

Why you don't choose "Default" in "Email Transport Method"? I'm using it and for years there was no problem about sending emails.

Setting it to default, throws this error:

There's a guide here which covers most errors: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/email-troubleshooting-guide.5086/

The first is point 4 here: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/email-troubleshooting-guide.5086/update?update=18730

The second is point 1 here: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/email-troubleshooting-guide.5086/update?update=18729

You will likely need to contact your host so they can investigate each one.

In relation to your initial Gmail configuration, your port is wrong. You need to use 465 (https://support.google.com/a/answer/176600?hl=en).

It was the port, with 465 now works fine. Thansk
