Alfresco Outbound Email Configuration

[EjikeAlfie]

Good day Folks,

I am trying to implement the Outbound Email configuration on Alfresco community with the following configurations below:

# Outbound Email Configuration
#-------------
# Sample Gmail settings
mail.host=smtp.gmail.com
mail.port=587
mail.username=ejike.chiboka@gmail.com
mail.password="my-password"
mail.encoding=utf-8
mail.from.default=ejike.chiboka@gmail.com
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.smtp.timeout=30000
mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true

But I keep getting the error below:
2025-02-13T10:30:58,777 [] ERROR [action.executer.MailActionExecuter] [mailAsyncAction1] Failed to send email to [ada] : org.springframework.mail.MailAuthenticationException: Authentication failed
