I have BIT configured correctly, I believe, with known user and password, as well as SMTP server and port. However it fails the "Test". How to diagnose? Does BIT have logging?

The test emails aren't logged (only the fact that it didn't send). Are you using gmail?
 
I tested Gmail. It fails also. Pic attached.

I'm also getting a similar error message when the try to send a test email - Send Test Email in the OPTIONS tab?

"The message could not be sent to the SMTP server. The transport error code 0x80040217. The server response was not available."

I did get a warning email message in my gmail.com email account they blocked suspicious activity and blocked access.

Any ideas how to workaround or fix?
