Step 5: In SMTP Authentication, enter your user “email address” in the username and your email account password in the password field. Make sure both email and password credentials are correct.
In E-MAIL Options, enter the same email address and name from which your email will be sent.
In SEND TEST E-MAIL, enter the email where you want to receive the test email.
Enable debugging is optional, but helps in debugging the problem and displays messages.
Now click save the configuration.
A test e-mail has been sent successfully to your provided email address.
Your SMTP configuration setup is complete, Voila!
Note: In some cases email is not sent and error is displayed because bydefault drupal is using site’s email address. For that navigate to Configuration->Syestem->Basic site settings. In Site Details, enter your same smtp configured email in email address field and save confriguation. Make sure to use same email address at both places. If the sending email or from email is different then in result email won’t be sent.
