I'm having the hardest time getting my email configured.  I was told IPB doesn't work with yahoo mail, so I created a gmail account for purposes of this IPB.  When I try to configure the basic email, it gives me error after error.  If I use the PHP option, some mail goes through, but it is delayed by hours even days, or it doesn't go through at all.

I have attached a pdf of my email configuration screen.

 

2017.2.1Email Settings.pdf

Figured out the problem.  gmail had a high security that apparently would not allow email from IPB through. Once I lowered security at gmail, the emails started going through.

Which security settings did you lower and where?
