I can\'t figure for the life of me why exactly is it failing.. this is the exact error I am getting:

Answer 1

I just had this issue and solved it by editing mail.php under config folder. Usually when using shared hosting, they hosting company allows you to create an email such as

XXXX@yourdomainname.com

. So go to email settings under you shared hosting cpanel and add new email. Take that email and password and set it in the

mail.php.

It should work!
