 * Hi,
 * I have carried out all the instructions to make the SMTP plugin work with my 
   website and the results are unsuccessful. My gmail account simply cannot send
   emails on behalf of the SMTP plugin installed on my website. See screenshots:

 * Hi, Have you tried SSL on port 465? Please contact your host to make sure that
   port 587 is open and supports TLS encryption. For troubleshooting check the instructions
   on the [Gmail SMTP documentation](https://wphowto.net/gmail-smtp-plugin-for-wordpress-1341)
