    Hello plateau1807,
    For the configuration of email log, you need to double check setting as below.
    1. the gmail server name is smtp.gmail.com
    2. Enable"TLS Security" and "STARTTLS"
    3. The Gmail port is 587, please check the this link: https://www.lifewire.com/what-are-the-gmail-smtp-settings-1170854
    4.You need to change some setting as below on Gmail account:
    please go to this website:  https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
    Please select "Turn on" access for less secure app and check it again.
    Here is an example from FAQ as your reference.

    Try Less secure apps

    Log in to your Gmail account through a web browser and enable access through less secure apps . Less secure apps can make your account more vulnerable, Google will automatically turn this setting off if it's not being used. However, bypass this security setting with a configuration tweak within your Google Email Account .

    How "more secure apps" help to protect your account?

      Which level of access you're giving the client before you connect your Account.

      Client access only a relevant part of your Account, like your email or calendar.

      Connect your Google Account to the client without exposing your password.

      Disconnect your Google Account from the client at any time.

    You need to go into configuration\system\notification\mail server section and fill that area out as well as the log settings area. Then the 68000 message will go away
