In setting > technical > email > outgoing mail server :

try to configure it with :

Smtp server: smtp.gmail.com

Smtp port: 465

Connection Security: SSL/TLS

Enable debugging mode and provide your username: user@gmail.com and password.

Now save it and click Test connection.

Result: Connection test succeeded!Everything seems properly set up!

Now go to Messaging menu in and click on Compose a new message and send a message.

Hope this works :) .

Regards,

I was able to get past this error by populating the "Email" field in the company information for the company I have setup. Just mouse over the company icon in the upper-left hand side and click "Edit Company data". When the company information form appears fill in an email address on the right hand side of the form. This email address field is used for the sending address when creating a new user. When creating a new user before this information has been populated a misleading error is displayed on the page that "Cannot send email: No outbound email servers are defined...", but this is not accurate. This error is displayed even when outbound SMTP servers have been configured. A full write-up of this can be found under bug 1160819.

@ Jessie Goto Settings--> General Settings --> Configure the Outgoing Email Server --> create new--> Description: Gmail, smtp server: smtp.gmail.com, Smtp port: 465, Debugging marked, connection security: SSL/TLS, Gmail username, password, now click Test connection, result is Connection test succeeded! Everything seems properly set up! . check it.

I fixed this for my installation. It seems that there is something broken possibly in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openerp/addons/mail/mail_mail.py or /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openerp/addons/base/ir/ir_mail_server.py that doesn't allow getting the smtp_user variable.

I saw the following error in my log file (my email addresses and domain names have been edited to make them generic):

"MailDeliveryException: (u'Mail delivery failed', u'Mail delivery failed via SMTP server \'mail.mydomain.com\'.\nSMTPRecipientsRefused: {\'myname@mydomain.com\': (550, \'Verification failed for <postmaster-odoo@mydomain.com>\\nNo Such User Here"\\nSender verify failed\')}')"

If it doesn't get the smtp_user and if the variable for mail.catchall.alias is not set (as noted in line 372 of /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openerp/addons/base/ir/ir_mail_server.py), it will put in "postmaster-odoo" as the user in the from address, i.e, postmaster-odoo@mydomain.com.

So, for a work-around, I just edited /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openerp/addons/base/ir/ir_mail_server.py line 379 and changed "postmaster-odoo" to "admin", since my SMTP user mail account is admin@mydomain.com. For your case, just change it to whatever the user part of the email address is. It will get the domain correctly put in there.

So, change this:

get_param = self.pool['ir.config_parameter'].get_param
        postmaster = get_param(cr, SUPERUSER_ID, 'mail.catchall.alias',
                               default='postmaster-odoo',
                               context=context,)
        domain = get_param(cr, SUPERUSER_ID, 'mail.catchall.domain', context=context)
        if postmaster and domain:
            return '%s@%s' % (postmaster, domain)

to this:

get_param = self.pool['ir.config_parameter'].get_param
        postmaster = get_param(cr, SUPERUSER_ID, 'mail.catchall.alias',
                               default='admin',
                               context=context,)
        domain = get_param(cr, SUPERUSER_ID, 'mail.catchall.domain', context=context)
        if postmaster and domain:
            return '%s@%s' % (postmaster, domain)

 I hope this solves it for someone.

Hi,

Thanks for help.

I successfully send an email out if compose a new message but I cannot send an invitation email (Users -> Send an invitation email). The error message is as below although i already configure the outgoing email.

Cannot send email: no outgoing email server configured. You can configure it under Settings/General Settings.
