 * Hello fello WordPress useres,
    Here is my issues, Im working on a project which
   the client has purchased and currently running on a azure cloud hosting platform….
   which does not allow for standard SMTP protocols which has led me to this pluggin.
   I ran the test and still not working… Im runningthe followin
 * WP version 3.9
    -PLUGGIN SET UP: Webriti SMTP Mail
 *  Enter your email address that emails should be sent from.
    –**From Email**: 
   [Nicargua@LinkedF2F.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-azure-platform-issues-configguring/Nicargua@LinkedF2F.com?output_format=md)–**
   From Name**: Admin
 * **Mailer**
    -CHECKED BOX (yes)= Send all WordPress emails via SMTP.
 *  **SMTP Options**
    SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com -SMTP Port -Port: 465
 * **Encryption**
    -CHECKED BOX (yes): Use SSL encryption.
 * **Authentication**
    – Yes: Use SMTP authentication.
 * Username:
    – [nicaragualinkedin@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-azure-platform-issues-configguring/nicaragualinkedin@gmail.com?output_format=md)
 * Password:
    -ect ect ect
 * **Question one**: Could it be that im using the wrong email address that emails
   should be sent from and where or how would I be able to find this email? Its 
   possible I input the wrong one.
 * **Question two**: Azure has a service called sendgrid, from what I read, it would
   serve as an email function for the host side but on explains it as to have the
   ability to sen mail, **but I need its function on wordpress so that members can
   register and receive their activation key **_(THERE LIES THE PROBLEM, WOULD SENDGRID
   SOLVE MY THIS ISSUE)_ the following:
 * Figure-10 Set up site Auto Scale
 * > By default Email service is not configured in WordPress. To enable Email functionality,
   > you would need a third party email service like SendGrid. Learn how to configure
   > SendGrid account from Azure Store . Once you have purchased this Add-On service,
   > you need to install SendGrid Plugin for WordPress and configure it with you
   > newly created SendGrid account.
 * Here is the link to their instruction on build:

 * Its been weeks of trying different pluggins and trying to retrofit them so they
   may work but not luck. Anyone out there familiar with these issue?
 * Thanks you for your readind this far,
    -Erawkz.
