After some battles in getting email to send from the POS Software with Gmail, I have discovered two important points.
- The port to use is 587 (NOT 465)
- It is VITAL to go into the GMail account Settings/Account and Import/Change Account Settings/Other Account Settings/Signing In/Access for less secure apps and set it to TURN ON
Otherwise the POS Software will not be able to access your GMail account to send emails remotely. I have double authentication on my personal GMail account, so I created a GMail account just for the POS System.
I hope this is of help to others users!
