Too Many Unauthenticated commands

My smtp setting is like this:

--mail-from=testmail@gmail.com --mail-to=myusername@gmail.com --smtp-srv=smtp.gmail.com --smtp-sec=tls --smtp-port=465 --smtp-usr=testmail@gmail.com --smtp-pwd="pA$sw0rd"

but I'm getting error like below, although I had test it working fom gmail log in page.

Is there something else that I need to do?

Re: Too Many Unauthenticated commands

I already set on authenticating account "Allow less secure apps: ON"
but it still not working.

Re: Too Many Unauthenticated commands

Well, username and/ or password are being rejected.

535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at

Every other error is derived from this fact. Try to change the password to something simpler and try again, just to discard some weird character causing the issue. Dig into it, it has to be something with your creddentials.
