A common issue reported from users is setting up Gmail as the SMTP Server and not working after entering everything in correctly.
We recommend starting with port 587 or 465.
If it still doesn't work, we need to see the connection for debug purposes, use Help > Diagnostics > Detailed Logs, and check the box for SMTP connections.
Go to Window > Logs > Debug.
Open Edit > Server Settings > Notifier List > Select email notification and click the test notifier button.
You will see similar results in the Debug log.

If you see this in the debug then we need to modify a setting in Gmail.

The recommended solution is enabling “Access for less secure apps” (which just means the client/app doesn’t use OAuth 2.0 - https://oauth.net/2/) for the account you are trying to access. It's found in the account settings on the Security tab, Account permissions (not available to accounts with 2-step verification enabled): https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en
