I know this topic is many in this forum, but I had tried all of way but no work.
I open the Setting > Mail, setting Mail Engine as SMTP,
SMTP hostname : ssl://smtp.gmail.com,
SMTP username :
xxxx@gmail.com,
SMTP password : xxxx,
SMTP Port : 465.
I tried it, but the error shown is Password not accepted from server, I had activate less security in gmail, and open DisplayUnlockCaptcha but it still error. I had read change it to Mail, It's work, but the message is inside the spam folder. Is there any specific method like tutorial to help me how to make the mail work. thanks. Sorry bad english

Hi, I had followed the image, I setting it like the second image below. If I set the store email to gmail account, it's work but it send to spam, but if I set the store email to
admin@ratudrone.com I can't get the email message.
And I have question, if I want to use my own ssl host, which one is the SMTP hostname? (in the first image below)

Your first screenshot does not have Gmail configurations. It has no purpose with your Opencart configurations. As for your second screenshot, instead of using ssl:// , use tls:// with port 587 instead of 465 and see if that resolves the issue. In the mean time, an aside note to indicate that you do not need to send me a PM to remind me that you posted a message. Even the forum does not need to remind me as any notifications as the sound of a user's mouse-click, when posting, already notifies me.

If the same issue persists with your password, revert back to the first changes and see on gmail.com on your browser if you're able to authenticate. If not, reset your password credentials.

sorry for bothering you, I just changed it to tls:// and port 567, still at the spam folder. It's said The message may not have been sent by : (My Store Email)
Update, after I changed the Store Email to my host email, and trying to buy something, the customer get spam mail with warning : the mail detected as spam by spam filter

In the mean time, the port is 587; not 567.

Opencart Admin Page => System > Settings > Edit > Mail
SMTP Host =“ssl://smtp.gmail.com”
SMTP Username = “
yourusername@gmail.com”
SMTP Password = Google Account password
SMTP Port =“465"
Login Gmail account。
Go to “
https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha"
Click continue.
TEN minutes Try again.
进入Opencart 前台注册新户口。你应该收到gmail.
100% work.
