 * Hi,
 * I had an issue with mails not being send through port 465. It used to work fine
   and then suddenly it didn’t work. Nothing changed by me or the hosting.
 * I’ve changed to 587 and that works.
 * But I’d like to set up a fallback option with a gmail account. I’ve tried and
   tried, but I can’t get it to work.
 * When using Gmail as the primary smtp mail, I made the required Client ID etc.
   It worked fine, but I changed to my normal mail at my hosting, so it wouldn’t
   show the Gmail adress in the mails.
 * However, now I’d like to use that Gmail as a fallback.
 * The password is correct.
    The email adress is correct. The username I’ve written
   the same mailadress, also tried without the [@gmail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmail/).
   com and with the name showed when sending mails from the account. Nothing works.
   As far as I can tell, the fallback option is not using the same kind of authentication
   as when using Gmail for primary smtp.
 * I hope it makes sense.
 * Thank you.
 * BR Jesper
