    I am experiencing an issue where test emails fail to send due to the Sender Email (SMTP) configuration not working. I have not received any emails and was advised to verify if "Authentication Required" is enabled in Jotforms. I confirmed that it is enabled. I would like a ticket to be created to address this problem. My email is sristi@grasscrafts.com.

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Can you give more details about the error you're getting? Can you take a screenshot of what’s happening and send it to us? We’ve got a quick guide on how to do that here. Also, it's easy to use your Gmail Account as your Email Sender for Jotform. Let me show you how:

    1. On your Settings page, in the Sender Emails section, click on the Add Sender Email button.
