I get the below error when testing outgoing mail server connection.

Connection test failed!
Here is what we got instead:

5.7.9 {WEBLOGINREQUIRED} q13sm3460127wie.8 - gsmtp

I've given the uname as vivek@boscosofttech.com and the password of it

But when i give the details as uname vivekjustthink@gmail.com and the password of it the test connections succeeds.

Am i missing any configuration on my comp mail server? can anyone help me on this issue please?

Hi Vivek,

Please go to Manage your Google Account and select Security



And turn on 2-Step Verification, after that, you will get the option for App passwords


Now create an App password and use that instead of the password in the odoo email configuration settings.


Hope this helps.

I made this video to show how to use Google OAuth, but it also demonstrates outgoing mail set up:

I believe that it is obligatory to use a legitimate GMail account in order to use their SMTP service. If you don't want to use vivekjustthink@gmail.com, I'd suggest you create a new account such as smtp.boscosofttech@gmail.com. You can then go to the settings menu (the geery-wheelie thing in the top-right) and choose Forwarding and POP/IMAP. You can then configure it to forward all email to vivek@boscosofttech.com.
