I give up. Downloaded latest Manager, read all the tips and hints but still can’t get the email to work.
STMP stmp.gmail.com PORT 587 USER NAME wnwilsonnz
PASSWORD doublechecked.
ERROR MESSAGE WILSON WN 2018-19 (2018-10-12) - Email Settings —
The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required. Learn more at

Do you have an ordinary gmail account or Google suite account?
In gmail have you enabled two step verification or not?
If using 2 stem verification did you generate an app password? Which password are you using in Manager?

Hi Patch
Ordinary Gmail. No to two-step. 1 manager1.

I did accept Gmail Addition of allowing low standard data.

For your info: I found two ways to set up Gmail and tried both with no luck.

One asks for SMTP username only and the other asks for email address??

Where does the 2nd screenshot come from?

My version of Manager (19.7.7) only has the first screenshot

I have a simple Gmail account, no 2 step and just enter as below

Try this: Create an Gmail account.

Enter the Gmail details under Settings tab, then Email Settings .

  • Set Email address to your Gmail email address
  • Set Hostname to smtp.gmail.com and port to 587
  • Set Username to your Gmail email address.
    Set Password to your Gmail password

Yes, emails are sent via Manager’s sent folder.

16/7/2019 I am having the same issue. I have given up at this point. am raising invoice and attaching to an email to the customer.
Surely there is a simple fix.
If they can put a man on the moon so they must be able to fix this simple issue for us. I love Manager however will have to change if I cant fix the email issue.

To begin with, @Lorra_Amede, “I am having the same issue” provides no information with which anyone can help you. You haven’t told us anything about your settings, nor have you mentioned your email provider. At least post a screen shot of your email settings.

Thanks to everyone for their help. Still getting log in error. The only gray area could have been password but used an old computer and loaded gmail on it using my known password verified by my lastpass program and updated manager and still got error message. Gave up and reverted to. PDF and regular email.
Thanks again for your help.

Did you really use your gmail address in the field [Username] as Andries suggested. I saw that you did use [wnwilsonnz] as your Username in former post. Normally in Gmail the username is the same as your Gmailaddress, so it ends at @gmail.com.

No, full email address

You update the same way you originally installed. Read the appropriate Guide:
