If you have already completed these steps and your email credentials have changed, repeat steps 4-15. If only your email password has changed, you may repeat only steps 9-15.
If you changed your Google email "2-Step Verification" settings or the "Less secure apps" settings, Google says "These changes may take up to 24 hours to propagate to all users."

- Use any valid email address for testing purposes.
- When testing, you must re-enter the SMTP password. Do not click [Update] when testing. You already did this in step 10, and doing before testing will clear the password field which will cause your test to fail.
- [Test SMTP Settings]
If you receive a "Successfully sent..." message like below, a test email will be sent to the inbox for the email address you entered in step 11.
If you receive an "error" message like below, verify steps 4-9, then repeat steps 10-15.
- After your test message is successful, choose "Enable".
- Click "Update" to save changes.
If you have already completed these steps and your email credentials have changed, repeat steps 4-15. If only your email password has changed, you may repeat only steps 9-15.
