Email verification in grails

Question

I am new with grails and am developing a web application in grails.

In my registration page I am getting the user's email id and I need to send a mail with authentication link.

http://grails.org/plugin/email-confirmation

I have referred these pages and many other pages to do this task. But the problem is, my email is not sending.

I have used

Gmail SMTP server address : smtp.gmail.com
Gmail SMTP username : myid@gmail.com
Gmail SMTP password : -my password-
Gmail SMTP port : 465
Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required : yes

Mail settings are:

grails { 
    mail { 
        host = "smtp.gmail.com" 
        port = 465 
        username = "myId@gmail.com" 
        password = "mypassword" 
        props = [
            "mail.smtp.auth":"true", 
            "mail.smtp.socketFactory.port":"465", 
            "mail.smtp.socketFactory.class": "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory",
            "mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback":"false"] 
    } 
} 
grails.mail.default.from="noreply@gmail.com"

but at least

sendMail {     
  to "friend@gmail.com"     
  subject "Hello "     
  body 'How are you?' 
}

is not working.

The exception occured is

this is the exception

Paste your mail settings from config.groovy. Are you getting any errors ? What happens, do you see any thing on console ! — Sudhir N, Mar 12 '14 at 05:39
grails { mail { host = "smtp.gmail.com" port = 465 username = "myId@gmail.com" password = "mypassword" props = ["mail.smtp.auth":"true", "mail.smtp.socketFactory.port":"465", "mail.smtp.socketFactory.class":"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory", "mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback":"false"] } } grails.mail.default.from="noreply@gmail.com" the view page is not changing. — JiniKJohny, Mar 12 '14 at 06:00
can you login into `Gmail` with those credentials? `Gmail` often refuses connections the first time from an unknown client. Look for email notifications for this in your inbox. also check https://support.google.com/mail/answer/14257?p=client_login&rd=1 — aldrin, Mar 12 '14 at 06:36
as the trace suggests ssl is used and so your config is most likely picked up. can you test connecting? e.g. ``telnet smtp.gmail.com 465``? — cfrick, Mar 12 '14 at 10:18

Try this it's worked for me. Notice that: Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required : yes. But you don't put "mail.smtp.starttls.enable": "true"

grails.mail.host="smtp.gmail.com"
grails.mail.port=587
grails.mail.username="yourUsernameHere"
grails.mail.password="yourPwdHere"
grails.mail.from="defaultMailFromHere"
grails.mail.props = ['mail.smtp.auth': "true",
        "mail.smtp.starttls.enable": "true",
        "mail.from":"defaultMailFromHere"]
grails.mail.javaMailProperties = ['mail.smtp.auth': "true",
        "mail.smtp.starttls.enable": "true",
        "mail.from":"defaultMailFromHere"]
