In my experience, resolving Gmail- Magnolia CMS integration challenges requires careful attention to Google’s security settings. I discovered that generating an App Password for a Gmail account with two-factor authentication improved overall stability. Besides verifying that your server permits outbound SMTP connections to Gmail, examining system logs often reveals subtle configuration errors. After making these adjustments, email operations resumed normal function. It also helped to test changes incrementally, confirming that each modification led to a more stable communication channel before moving on to the next step.
Based on my experience with configuring Gmail in Magnolia CMS, I recommend verifying that you are using the correct SMTP settings in your configuration file. I encountered a similar issue where the authentication failed because I overlooked switching to an App Password after enabling two-factor authentication on my Gmail account. Additionally, I found it helpful to test the connection with a command line tool first to ensure that the port and protocol settings were correct. It is crucial to compare your Magnolia settings with the Gmail requirements to spot any discrepancies that might be causing the authentication problems.
