first allow less secure apps from your google account and then test the email configuration

For incoming mail server:

smtp server:smtp.gmail.com

port:465

connection security:ssl/tls

I found the solution...

1. put you odoo in develop mode.

2. goto Settings ‣ Technical ‣ Email ‣ Templates

3. Open the first template

4. Edit and choose advance configuration

5. select "outgoing email server": <your configuration smpt>

6. Save the template

7. repeat for all templates.

Good luck.

Dear chris,

            please mention your connection detailes for more info. And try to paste the error here or upload a screenshot.

            if you are using smtp server with gmail,

            the below detailes can be of help

            port:465
            smtp server : smtp.gmail.com
            connection security: SSL/TLS

               and make sure you have entered the correct login and password.

              Also try setting up the mail after loging in to the browser.

               and for gmail , you have to enable less secure apps in order to use odoo.

            To enable less secure apps

                    you can use this link:

I am having a similar problem with odoo version 12. It tells me connection lost anytime I try to send a quotation.

My smtp server is setup. It tells me everything is successful but still not sending emails.

DigitalOcean is known to block email ports such as 25, 587, 465 etc by default on most droplets. Please first make sure that you can connect to your SMTP service by doing:

telnet smtp.gmail.com 25

What do you get in response?

Further, I would recommend you use a transactional SMTP / Mail service to send emails out from Odoo, instead of gmail. Mandrill has a free plan that you can use.

Obviously you are not able to setup your SMTP account properly. However, you should not use the Gmail default SMTP server anyway, but the G-Suite relay SMTP server instead for obvious reasons. Please read Odony's answer here:

https://github.com/odoo/odoo/issues/21119

and Google's instructions here:

https://support.google.com/a/answer/2956491?hl=en

and follow the deployment instructions of Odoo here:

When you tried with Gmail have you added Odoo API to trusted on google? I have noticed recently that whenever Odoo tried to send an email I got a notification from Gmail that "Not secure app tried to log to your email"
