  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Gmail Authentication failed

Ian Welerson

New Pleskian
Hello,
I'm having a problem with the authentication of my emails when I try to use in web mail clients like Gmail or Outlook.
I release port 587 in Plesk but when I try to authenticate displays the error below.
I've done all user checks and password and everything is correct.
I exchange the Postfix mail client for Qmail and the problem does not happen more, but when I go back to Postfix the problem returns.
The connection via POP is normal only via SMTP.
I can use the webmail roundcube usually the problem occurs only in SMTP authentication on external email client servers.
I configure using port 587 and TLS connection.
Could anyone help me?

Error message in Gmail:

Authentication failed. Check your username / password.
[Server response: 334 PDQxMzk0NTU3MTIuMTk4OTU1QHZwczc0NTE2LnZwcy5vdmguY2E + 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure code (535)]
 
Yes, when i try use the Thunderbird the error message is:

Sending of the message failed.
The message could not be sent using Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.naopera.com.br for an unknown reason. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

I'm not sure if this is the correct log, but that was in the https://kb.plesk.com/en/111283. The POP connection is working properly, but the SMTP connection presenting problem. I can not find the problems in the log, much less information from smtp login attempts that I made today.
 
Hello,

I join this thread as I have exactly the same issue

Plesk 12.5.30 (update number 30 - 2nd May 2016 @ 06:34)
OS: Ubuntu Trusty all updates ok
Postfix as MTA

No problem from webmail, no problem from Thunderbird (Pop3 on port 995, smtp on port 465) but when adding to the GMail interface, same error)

A real issue for me :(
