Hi, did you read through the troubleshooting instructions provided in the link above?
Thank you
SMTP does not work for me either. Same error.
Hosting is on GoDaddy
Email is on Google
One problem that I have found in researching this problem is that GoDaddy blocks outbound SMTP to ports 25, 465 and 587 to all servers except their own.
The Google email uses 465.
@jbarrick, can you start a new support thread.
Thank you
@kylemaccs Your problem is that your web server can’t/won’t connect to Google’s. This is almost always the hosting, not the plugin. Don’t take my word for it, try a different SMTP plugin, and get the same result.

Hi there @lev0 I see you reported this thread to the moderators. Please note this thread does not violate any of the forum’s guidelines: https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/
You provided a great answer, as did the plugin’s developer, and there’s really no need to report the thread to us.
@macmanx Not intentionally. I clicked the link wondering what options it would show, but it immediately reported the thread. GET method causing write + no confirm/undo is bad UX, IMHO.
