If you have already completed these steps and your email credentials have changed, repeat steps 6-17. If only your email password has changed, you may repeat only steps 11-17.

- 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 12, 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 13.
If you receive an "error" message like below, verify steps 6-11, then repeat steps 13-17.
- 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 6-17. If only your email password has changed, you may repeat only steps 11-17.
Note: If you are using Google 2-Factor for security, you will have to generate a password for your domain. See this link for more info!
