Gmail XOAUTH smtp connect() failed. Trouble shooting

You may encounter the error smtp connect() failed. https //github.com/phpmailer/phpmailer/wiki/troubleshooting oauth2

You can trouble shoot by adding following code to PHPMailer.php

new Method

public function initiateOauth()
{

    $options ['provider'] = new Google([
            'clientId' => $this->oauthClientId,
            'clientSecret' => $this->oauthClientSecret
        ]
    );

    $options['userName'] = $this->oauthUserEmail;
    $options['clientId'] = $this->oauthClientId;
    $options['clientSecret'] = $this->oauthClientSecret;
    $options['refreshToken'] = $this->oauthRefreshToken;


    try {
        $this->setOAuth(new OAuth($options));
    } catch (OAuthException $e) {
    }


}

**Insert Code **

After: if ($this->SMTPAuth) {

---

** if ($this->AuthType == 'XOAUTH2') {** $this->initiateOauth(); }

---

Before if (!$this->smtp->authenticate( $this->Username, $this->Password, $this->AuthType, $this->oauth ) ) { echo 'test-2'; throw new Exception($this->lang('authenticate')); } }
