Email Config Issue

[venkatraman_r]

Hello,
I am very new to Alfresco (even to ECM) and I just started exploring the application. I downloaded the Alfresco community 5.0a and started practicing few things. I am now trying to configure the outbound email and need some help from the experts.

I made the following changes in the alfresco-global.properties file as per the instruction given in
http://docs.alfresco.com/community/concepts/email-outboundsmtp-props.html. I stopped and started the Alfresco Community service.

### E-mail site invitation setting ###
mail.host=smtp.gmail.com
mail.port=465
mail.username=********@gmail.com
mail.password=********
mail.protocol=smtps
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
mail.smtps.auth=true

I added the users (created via application and also via external users section) and sent the invite to the users. There was no errors on sending the invite and I am able to see the invites sent out in the Pending Invites page.

But there is no sign of emails delivered to the users. Can someone help me resolve this issue. Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Venkat R.

Can anyone help here?  I am having the same issue.  A brand new install of Community 5.0.a, and the previous known good outbound SMTP server settings don't work.

I have a similar problem,
emails from workflow worked fine in 4.2.e,
it stopped working after upgrade to 5.0.a.

I build from svn.

I will further investigate to see if I can find the cause.
