I've read other posts and documentation and i would like to set gmail as smtp server but if i configure
smtp.gmail.com with 587 port and TLS security
Account@gmail.com and the correct password (i've tested it)
I received a message that the oxwall app is not trusted by gmail... not a problem. I've enabled access to less secure appliance (it worked for other websites with other cms) but when i do the test it continues to say that authentication is failed.
I've checked again gmail and the access to the less secure appliance is still turned on.
Any idea?

Silvio, something is wrong on your side. See screenshots, I tried both on my test website and our demo.

i will test again this evening but consider that on the same vps i've 2 WP websites where i use WP mail bank (on one) and WP easy smtp, plus a newsletter plugin that support smtp configuration. They work without problems... but i will do a check with one of the emails i'm using on the other websites just to test it again and let u know

ok seems you are right... i've done the test with the wp emails and it says "success" . Just another question. I've read success but no email received (checked in spam folder too). it is normal?

Sorry for late answering but i did not have time to get back to this old problem. Finally i've resolved the smtp auth error. The fight was not in the configuration in oxwall but in gmail. To let a gmail account work you must:
Enable less secure app in gmail account
and you must do also this second step: https://accounts.google.com/displayunlockcaptcha (you must me logged in the web page of your gmail account before click to this link)
after this.. you have to wait like 10 minutes and you could use it on oxwall.
Hope this solution will help people that had my same problem.
Thank you Ross as always
