Question
Ghost can't send mail using Gmail (Google Apps)
I verified my domain, I added MX records, the user and password is correct.
mail: {
service: 'Gmail',
transport: 'SMTP',
options: {
host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 465,
secureConnection: true,
auth: {
user: '*******@my-domain.com',
password: '******'
}
}
}
And I keep getting this error:
“AuthError: Invalid login - 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at 535 5.7.8 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=14257”
What else should I do?

Ran into the exact same problem. I’ve fixed it by changing the gmail settings to allow apps with lower security on this page:

Hope this works for you!
