SOLVED Test Email - No Luck

[BKK]

I've been installing FreeNAS and have tried to set up the test email. There is a image below of the email settings.

I've entered the email address for the root User as per the manual. I've also entered the password. After I click Save the password fields are blank???

I also use the Unblock US service as the DNS service since I'm in Canada. So the DNS server addresses in my router are set to the Unblock US values. Not sure if this makes any difference.

Any ideas on what I can try next???

Edit: at first look you have incorrect settings for SSL and port. Follow my instructions in the link.

Making progress! I do not have 2 step verification enabled but I corrected the SSL and port and now I get this message:

Your test email could not be sent: (534, '5.7.14 Please log in via your web browser and then try again.\n5.7.14 Learn more at\n5.7.14 https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=78754 j4sm16311977igx.20 - gsmtp')

You probably have SMTP/IMAP/POP disabled in Gmail, activate them in Gmail's settings.

POP is enabled and so is IMAP. I don't see any place where SMTP can be enabled?

Still the error message above.

SMTP is enabled when POP or IMAP are.

Gmail provided you no further information?

I've copied the message that is displayed in FreeNAS above and googled the link. There is no real info there. Sorry that's all I have.

Solved I needed to enable "Allow Less Secure Apps to Access Account"

I just ran into the same problem. Bumping this thread since it saved me!

I just ran into this, but enabling this makes me uncomfortable. What modern security protocol does FreeNAS not support?
