Email Service not working - Email sent but not received - iOS

Question

I configured the Email service with my gmail account  in AppHQ, and tried to send email using "Compose" option. It said message is successfully sent, but it is not received !

Even the "Reset user password with email verification" is also not working - Though am getting success message in code ,email is not received .

I've given  Host as smtp.gmail.com  and Port value : 465 , SSL : YES  .

Tried Changing the port value to 587 , but still not working .

Also granted access to third party application for sending mail by following the link http://email.about.com/od/gmailtips/qt/How-To-Unlock-Gmail-For-A-New-Email-Program-Or-Service.htm

Even this didnt work for me .   Please provide a solution .

Hi, i had the same issue with you and i solved it. Hope not too late to help you. 

First, you need to check your gmail by go into "My Account" > Sign-in & security > then enable Apps connected to your account

Second, make sure your send to email is added to email configuration with the correct password that login into your gmail account

Third, make sure that your template key and value is match  ( NSMutableDictionary *otherMetaHeaders = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"test",@"test", nil];//Which you are created from AppHQ.)
