1.5.5.1 email problems.

Hi there.

I've been setting up store.jdbcomputing.co.uk recently and finally got around to the email settings.

I run my own server, which now has two Opencart installs on.

The email settings for one, the older one (Version 1.5.3.1), work perfectly.
STMP
ssl://smtp.gmail.com
info@exoticboutique.co.uk
CORRECT PASSWORD HERE
465
5
yes
yes
However. When I try and use these in the new store, as
SMTP
ssl://smtp.gmail.com
john@jdbcomputing.co.uk
CORRECT PASSWORD HERE
465
5
yes
yes

I get this error:

Notice: Error: Password not accepted from server! in /home/desktop/web/jdbcomputing.co.uk/store/system/library/mail.php on line 251

Any ideas? It is definitely the correct password.

And your definitely using Google Apps for the mail too? Or are you using a mail account on your server?

Have you tried just using the mail() feature? add your email with a -f in front in the mail parameters and its usually fine - no need for SMTP. i.e. -fjohn@jdbcomputing.co.uk

Might need to use an SPF record too but only if emails dont come through.

Yup. Google Apps. As I said, it works fine on another OpenCart install on the same server with the same settings.

I didn't want to bother installing phpMail if at all possible since SMTP worked fine before.

Anyone?

Would really avoid installing postfix/sendmail if possible.
