+ | If you are getting SSL Timeouts or SSL Authentication errors, two things may be causing the issue. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. you can try setting the Incoming POP port from :995 to :465 and the Outgoing SMTP Server to :587.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Verify that your Gmail account allows "Less Secure" | ||
+ | |||
+ | * To do this, sign into Gmail through your web browser.\\ | ||
+ | * Click your photo, avatar or outline near Gmail' | ||
+ | * Click Manage Your Google Account.\\ | ||
+ | * Click Security on the left side of the screen.\\ | ||
+ | * Scroll down till you see Less Secure App Access.\\ | ||
+ | * click on "Turn on access (not recommended)" | ||
+ | * Click the little slide switch next to "Allow Less Secure Apps: Off" | ||
+ | * The little slide switch will move to the right and change color.\\ | ||
+ | * You can now close the browser tab.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Select Sign-in & security. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Make sure Allow less secure apps is On. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ** - If you are getting the error below saying "No Mail Client installed or configured..." | ||
+ | |||
+ | The issue is being caused | ||
+ | |||
+ | Even though this setting is greyed out it is still causing System Five to look for an email client. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To disable it you will have to set the Email Option to "Email through your email client" | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
