SMTP Settings Not Working

I configured smtp settings in my test environment (running Apache on Windows OS) as follows:

Protocol: SMTP

SMTP Host: smtp.google.com

SMTP Port: 587

SMTP Username: [valid gmail email]

SMTP passwork: [correct password for username]

SMTP Security: TLS

When I enable debugging in .env file (APP_DEBUG=true), it does not show the an error - it shows message that email was sent successfully. However, email is not sent. 

An when I turn off debugging, it shows "Oops something went wrong" message. 

Would please help to guide me on what I might have done incorrect. 

Please verify your SMTP Host.  I do not use GMAIL but your issue "may" be related to the SMTP host name.  Are you sure it isn't something like: smtp.gmail.com or smtp-relay.gmail.com?  Not smtp.google.com


Same problem here. Using google email address.

V 1.3.3

There are various reasons behind it and the user of the module has to check all that. As far I know commanding the apache on the windows server is not getting accessed because of the Microsoft compatibility telemetry and this has to be fixed to have the process complete.
