    Hello, simply put, emails from wordpress do not send. After consulting the forums I read suggestions that you should send emails via SMTP to get around this. However, they still do not send.

    This is the error message upon using the test-email function (with passwords, etc removed)

    Test Message Sent
    
    The result was:
    
    bool(false)
    The full debugging output is shown below:

    The SMTP debugging output is shown below:
    
    SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks,

    Alex

    I see you are using googlemail.com and thus you are likely trying to use Google SMTP. To what I recall, SSL is not supported by default.

    If so, try this plugin - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

    And try the following details.

    * SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
    * SMTP Port: 465
    * Encryption: Use SSL encryption
    * Authentication: Yes
    * Username: Your full Gmail address or Google App email
    * Password: your account password
