Gmail Does Not Send Notifications

I need some help setting up CS-Cart to send notifications via gmail. I have set up email in CS-Cart as follows:

SMTP server- smtp.gmail.com:465

SMTP user name- admin@mdomain.com (GMail admin user)

SMTP password- myGmailPW

Use encrypted connection- SSL

Use SMTP authentication- checkedg

Method of sending emails- via SMTP server

Seems simple enough but doesn't work. Google support sees nothing wrong. Hosting support has verified that ssl socket transport support is enabled. The knowledge base article has a script to run in public_html/mail.php which does not work (hosting support told me there was a problem with it but they will not support scripting). No matter, as the script was to verify ssl socket transfer support is enabled, which support confirmed anyway. Any help appreciated.

merchantman please post in corresponding forum branches, this one for example should be in Issues & Troubleshooting.
That's a bad practice to post everything in General Questions.

Thank you.

Solution was to use TLS authentication and make smtp server "tls://smtp.gmail.com"
