**[thecassava.co/phpmailer.php](http://thecassava.co/phpmailer.php)**

**my gmail login is failing (it shows that i might be using wrong password but my password is 100% correct as it works offline ):**  
also if i remove the `$mail->isSMTP(true);` it shows message sent successfully but i don’t recieve anything

**My code**  
\<?php  
// use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;

```
// require 'PHPMailer/Exception.php';
// require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php';
// require 'PHPMailer/SMTP.php';

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');

// Edit this path if PHPMailer is in a different location.
require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP(true);

/*
 * Server Configuration
 */

$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // Which SMTP server to use.
$mail->Port = 587; // Which port to use, 587 is the default port for TLS security.
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Which security method to use. TLS is most secure.
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Whether you need to login. This is almost always required.
$mail->Username = "validmail@gmail.com"; // Your Gmail address.
$mail->Password = "validpassword"; // Your Gmail login password or App Specific Password.

/*
 * Message Configuration
 */

$mail->setFrom('info@thecassava.co', 'The Cassava'); // Set the sender of the message.
$mail->addAddress('vickytiwari765@gmail.com', 'John Doe'); // Set the recipient of the message.
$mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer GMail SMTP test'; // The subject of the message.
// $mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER;
/*
 * Message Content - Choose simple text or HTML email
 */
 
// Choose to send either a simple text email... .
// $mail->Body = 'This is a plain-text message body'; // Set a plain text body.

// ... or send an email with HTML.

```
$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
   'ssl' => array(
     'verify_peer' => false,
     'verify_peer_name' => false,
     'allow_self_signed' => true
    )
);

```

adding the above code helped me solve this…though i’m not sure…😑

This is normal. Gmail does not allow you to send email with a sender address which is not on the account. Which effectively means you will always send with an @gmail.com address. There is no way to “fix” this, other than using a different email provider which does allow you to use your own sender address.
