OpenCart is one of the best-performing shopping cart scripts. Fortunately, you can use your existing Gmail or Google Apps email account in Opencart.
To ensure it work, correct SMTP Server details are required.
Email setting page can be found by browsing
System → Settings → Edit → Mail
The table below is the setting for using Gmail or Google Apps email account with Opencart.
| Gmail | Google Apps | |
|---|---|---|
| Mail Protocol | SMTP | SMTP |
| Mail Parameters | ||
| SMTP Host | ssl://smtp.gmail.com | ssl://smtp.gmail.com |
| SMTP Username | <your email>@gmail.com | <your email>@<your domain> |
| SMTP Password | <your password> | <your password> |
| SMTP Port | 465 | 465 |
| SMTP Timeout | 5 | 5 |

Hi, thanks for this. I am using google apps have been wrestling with this for 3 days on and off now, no matter what I try, getting the error:
Notice: Error: Password not accepted from server! in /home/XXXXXX/public_html/xxxxxxx/system/library/mail.php on line 251
I have tried the disabling the ;log in challenge still nothing. Any help would be most appreciated
Have you try to login to the said account by using your browser by using the same password? Sometimes Google require you to verify the login from other IP.
Without verifying, Google block login attempt.

Goodmoringin,
I tried to put SMTP. 597 and the system gives me this error:
2016-01-27 8:05:24 – PHP Warning: fsockopen(): SSL: crypto enabling timeout in ***/public_html/eshop/system/library/mail.php on line 170
2016-01-27 8:05:24 – PHP Warning: fsockopen(): Failed to enable crypto in ***/public_html/eshop/system/library/mail.php on line 170

2016-01-27 8:05:24 – PHP Notice: Error: (0) in ***/public_html/eshop/system/library/mail.php on line 173
If I try with SMTP: 465 gives me this error:
Notice: Error: Password not accepted from server! in /home/kids2/public_html/eshop/system/library/mail.php on line 289
But the password is correct.

Thank you!
Did your key-in the right username?
two weeks a go, the mails from my page have label, this say “the sender of this message could not be” before this not displayed
im use opencart2 in mi page and not change nothingness in the page or services
If you get an error:
“Error: Password not accepted from server!”
This is blocked by Gmail:
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255
The reason is that Gmail believes the applkication which tries to get an access is not safe.
You can allow “not safe applications” at your risk. Find instruction at the link above.
Another solution (which worked for us) was to use:
tls://smtp.gmail.com
port 587
We setup all settings for SMTP , received errors will signup a new user with an order.
Once you setup your details in Opencart
Go to Gmail and login to the account that you used for your SMTP configuration in Step 2.
Once logged in, go to “https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha”
Give it access to use GMail. go back place a new order, you might get pass with SMTP if you do not CHOOSE , Mail Protocol as MAIL instead of SMTP. All other settings remains the same. IT worked for us.
TESTED and this solution is also WORKING.

Another solution (which worked for us) was to use:
tls://smtp.gmail.com
port 587
Current solution, complete steps:
1. OpenCart System Configuration Mail Protocol: SMTP
host tls://smtp.gmail.com, then your gmail account username and password, port 587, and timeout 100 or so.
2. Enable IMAP for that gmail account
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/3/#settings/fwdandpop
3. Change account access for less secure apps
https://support.google.com/accounts/ans … 0255?hl=en
4. Allow Access
https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
5. Login to your store and make a test order for yourself
Login to your admin and add some order history with Notify Customer enabled.
This has worked for me at https://www.globalmac.cl with OC 2.3.0.2
