SMTP GMAIL was created by amolinue
Hi all!

Have anyone configured gmail as email server?
I have tried the next configuration:

Email method: SMTP
SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com:465
SMTP username: xxxxx@gmail.com
SMTP password: xxxxxxx
SMTP encryption: SSL

But i still cant send mails.
Anyone knows how to configure gmail as email sender?

Thanks in advance

I was having similar issues with email settings. I just figured out what my problem was.
Here are my settings
email method: SMTP
SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com:587
smtp username: tomhklab@gmail.com
SMTP encryption: TLS

Then I went to here: www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and changed the settng to ON.

I don't know if this help, but after I set change the security setting on my Google Account, I got a security notification asking whether my limesurvey website is a safe source. I select yes, then try to create another user in limesurvey and it worked.

    Hello Amolinue,
    I am having the same problem, I used TLS rather than SSL and port 587, but still getting error.

    Could you please let me know how did you solve the issue?

    That is exactly what the problem was.
    1) Go to your google account (web browser)
    2) Click Security
    3) Scroll down to Less Secure App Access
    4) Click on Turn On
    5) Click the switch to turn it on

    You will get an email notification of this change. As long as your settings are like below, this worked for me.

    I also turned on SMTP Debug Mode: On errors in my Lime Survey global email settings, so that told me if I had a userid/password problem or if it was an SMTP connection problem. When I saw it was the later, I found your solution. Thanks!

    email method: SMTP
    SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com:587
    smtp username: yourID@gmail.com
    SMTP encryption: TLS
