    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure how to configure Modx Revolution to send emails through smtp. I added my config in attachment. I checked smtp account credentials twice and they're correct.
    I uploaded phpmailer on my hosting server and I send correctly email through smtp with those credentials, so it must be something wrong on modx.

    I also have problem recovering password for admin (screen 2)

    Do anyone have clue what's wrong

    Thanks in advance.

    Artur

      The port and the prefix are the only things I've ever had a problem with. Your hosting control panel should have something in the email account manager that tells you exactly what settings to use for a mail client.

      If you can't set up the mail system, then MODX can't send you the password recovery email.

        Thank you for replay. Yes I checked settings in hosting control panel, and they are correct. I tried them in mail client and through phpmailer directly on my hosting account. This way all working and I receive email.

            Finally I found problem. There was modx system config file in cache with old credentials. I don't know why it wasn't removed with clear cache option. When I deleted it all started working.

            Thanks for your help.
