So I've tried like everything I can find..

Code:
2020-12-20 02:33:11    SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server:  (0)

This is the config I use

PHP:
// mail
'mail_enabled' => true, // is aac maker configured to send e-mails?
'mail_address' => '[email protected]', // server e-mail address (from:)
'mail_admin' => '[email protected]', // admin email address, where mails from contact form will be sent
'mail_signature' => array( // signature that will be included at the end of every message sent using _mail function
'plain' => ''/*'--\nMy Server,\nhttp://www.myserver.com'*/,
'html' => ''/*'<br/>My Server,\n<a href="http://www.myserver.com">myserver.com</a>'*/
),
'smtp_enabled' => true, // send by smtp or mail function (set false if use mail function)
'smtp_host' => 'smtp.gmail.com', // mail host
'smtp_port' => 465, // 25 (default) / 465 (ssl, e.g. gmail)
'smtp_auth' => true, // need authorization?
'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
'smtp_pass' => 'example',


(I've changed user/pass and mail_adress etc to my own gmail)

Any clues?
 
Yeah, I've tried that aswell, I just get a new error.

Any chance gmail changed SMTP host? I will try and change.
 
you can't have both configs set to true, read the comment: 2020-12-20 00_11_23-[TFS 0.36] SMTP Error _ OTLand.png

btw my advice is to use only 'mail_enabled' => true and not the smtp one, its way easier
 
Yes, MyAAC have PHPMailer included by default, so you don't need to install anything.

My first thought was, maybe you don't have openssl extension installed?

Go to MyAAC Admin Panel -> Tools -> phpinfo, search for "openssl" and check if you have something like that:

I think I've setup that correctly -

I ran into these exact errors when trying to use myaac hosted on an amazon aws instance. Works fine on other hosting platforms.
Do you happen to be hosting your website on AWS?

Hi @croix

Make sure IMAP is enabled in webmail, open gmail > settings > see all settings > forwarding and pop/imap tab > imap access > enable imap

Your settings look fine with SSL / 465.

Edit:
Further to add if the above doesn't work, turn on Less Secure Apps and turn off 2FA if it's enabled or create an App password.
Less secure app access (google.com)

Thanks
