A Few Important Notes:
- If after clicking SAVE you get an SMTP invalid error in the app, check your inbox. You may have received a Critical Security Alert email from Google. All you have to do is open the email, click the Check Activity button, and then choose Yes, it was me from the options.
- Settings for other email providers should be the same, only a couple of things will change, namely, the SMTP Host (for yahoo, it’s smtp.yahoo.com, for hotmail it’s smtp.hotmail.com, etc), and the security settings changes (you can get more information from your email provider’s support team). Port and SSL/TLS remain the same across providers.
- If you still get an error even after the steps above, please contact our support team: support@reviewgrower.com
