I am trying to setup the smtp settings and am using gmail smtp server. When I click the send verification email, I get the below error:
at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.SendMailCallback(IAsyncResult result)
2018-06-29 22:51:02.812 +00:00 [Error] Mail send failed.

I do actually have gmail accept less secure logins, but it is not working though.
I tried gmail & yahoo. Both don’t work.
I used both ports; ssl and tls. none worked. SSL config is there but I’m not sure how to force bitwarden to use tls. Is there a specific setting for that?
I want to buy the premium, but without testing and making sure all what I need is working, I can not go on with the purchase right now.
@gresso_gresso Honestly, I’ve never had much luck with Gmail SMTP for my various projects. The best solution I would recommend is to go with an email infrastructure provider that is designed for this kind of stuff, like a SendGrid, Mailgun, or Mailjet. All have free tiers and are relatively easy to set up with a domain. Plus, I know the latter two have port 2525 exposed, which will sometimes help with bypassing port restrictions in ISPs and certain cloud hosting platforms.
