    First… Thank you for a great Newsletter plugin!

    I keep getting this message when trying to send!:

    SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

    Is has worked with no issues up until now? Sending test mail won’t go through. I send out a newsletter today, and the stats says it send out 430 out 430..but no one recieved it. It wont send out confirmation mails either.

    I have entered my smtp data correctly (tried different kinds of ports and etc..) but went back to Port 587 with TLS protocol.
    I have the “less safer apps” enabled on my gmail.
    This it what is says in the box after trying to send a test mail:

    Gmail does not allow basic connection without auth2, you should unlock the old smtp connection mode but probably they will remove it.

    Use postman plugin which support the auth2 and let Newsletter to send without the SMTP so the emails will run througth postman.

    Stefano.
