Re: how to configure Mail SMTP enabled?
Hi,
for gmail as host you should use: ssl://smtp.gmail.com

Re: how to configure Mail SMTP enabled?
Hi koddiyak,
now seems all settings are correct so I AM thinking the error "Could not authenticate" is for wrong email or password.
Please check email and password.

Have you two step verification active?
This can be a reason why you are not able to authenticate, maybe you need generate Gmail app password?

Re: how to configure Mail SMTP enabled?
Hi Marco
I checked the password and username and it was ok,
I have not enabled two-factor authentication either.
Then I did TURN ON Allow Less Secure APPs
and Now it Works.
Here is the image
What are the security implications ?

Re: how to configure Mail SMTP enabled?
After activate secure app now works?
Is a Gmail settings... is not LHC rule... this issue if now is working is of gmail I cannot give google supports 
Maybe now you have activate two step verification your account are more safe so LHC are allowed to manage emails on gmail (send email).
As from I AM understanding now your LHC SMTP works well.
