I'm using wordpress 3.8, Mail SMTP plugin to send emails, and cpanel. In my local it works fine as my host is gmail. And once I uploaded it live I get authentication failed and I'm sure I typed my gmail username and password correctly. Is there any configuration that must be done? In cpanel perhaps? Or the plugin itself? Please help out. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Can you please check you server is configurations done as per Googles Settings if your want to send mail through Google servers?
Add MX entries for Google Apps In server
Google SMTP email settings in Plugin
Otherwise you need to check the possibilities of your server to send email.

I have installed WordPress in my localhost. For sign up verification, I installed wp smtp mail plug in. I want to send mail via gmail. For that I need api client ID and client secret. But when I visit Google developer console, then I found that I can't use my localhost website for that.
My question: how can I get gmail api for WordPress wp smtp mail plug in. (For localhost:port)
Sorry for bad English. Hope you understand :)

I'm using vagrant which uses ubuntu to serve my Wordpress website. I simply want Wordpress to be able to send mails somehow. This is because I want to test email forms. Is there any way to do this? And how can i do this?
You can either use a tool like MailCatcher and configure your wordpress installation to use its SMTP server — it comes with an email viewer —, or use a simple tool like ssmtp which will relay your requests to an actual mail server — like GMail.
I need to send mails from my VPS hosting a wordpress website, the outgoing mails are mainly for new users registrations and I cant find a sigle guide out there.
You can follow this guide to setup email service on Ubuntu if your VPS doesn't have it

But usually if your VPS have Control panel like Plesk,cPanel ..etc... Just simple create a new email account and using it
