Hi, Some time it expect password too (mail.smtp.password=xxxxxxx), please provide valid password for your gmail id. You can test the email locally with Papercut app.

In order to get the tls authentication working I had to enable the 2-Step Verification from gmail here and then I also used this config in local.properties

mail.from=username@gmail.com

mail.replyto=username@gmail.com

mail.smtp.server=smtp.googlemail.com

mail.smtp.port=587

mail.smtp.auth=true

mail.smtp.debug=true

mail.smtp.user=username@gmail.com

mail.smtp.password=yourpassword

mail.use.tls=true

mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true

After using above settings the email worked as expected.

TLS enabled port is 587 SSL port is 465..

Make sure you turn on or off the tls depending on port numbers

Hi Aarthy

Thanks for your reply. I am using below settings

mail.smtp.server=smtp.gmail.com

mail.smtp.port=465

mail.smtp.user=username@gmail.com

mail.smtp.password=xxxxxxx

mail.use.ssl=true

mail.from=username@gmail.com

mail.replyto=username@gmail.com

But still its not working.

Can you please advise.

You should try : - port 587 - replace mail.use.ssl=true with mail.use.tls=true

as Aarthy suggested.

mail.smtp.port=465 mail.smtp.starttls.enable=false

(or)

mail.smtp.port=587 mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true
