Description

Even if use sets the following, MifosX will not send emails

1- Configure the server on which mifos is installed to be able to send Emails - One can do this by installing sSMTP on the server and testing email sending on the command line

2- if using a gmail address only ports 465 and 587 will work because port 25 is by default disabled on google servers This includes very many other VPS / Mail servers

3- Configure the port under the Email External Services Configuration 

one will still get the error  below
