Play Mailer plugin with Play 2.5 - scala

Question

I am struggling with play mailer plugin. I found many references to configure play-mailer plugin to send email using gmail, but none worked.
Here are the details -
Play 2.5
Scala 2.11
mailer plugin - "com.typesafe.play" %% "play-mailer" % "5.0.0"
And here is my code:
application.conf:
play.mailer {
host="smtp.gmail.com"
port=587
ssl=no
tls=yes
user="pariXXXXXX#gmail.com"
password="XXXXXX"
debug=no
timeout=60
connectiontimeout=60
mock=false
}
Controller:
class HomeController #Inject() (
val messagesApi: MessagesApi,
val mailer:MailerClient)
extends Controller with I18nSupport {
def index = Action {
val bodyHtml = Some(views.html.mails.welcome("Pari").toString)
val email = Email(subject = "subject", from = "pari.XXXXX#gmail.com", to = List("pari.XXXXX#gmail.com"), bodyHtml = bodyHtml, bodyText = Some("Hello"), replyTo = None)
mailer.send(email)
Ok("Did you receive my email?")
}
}
Error:

Any thoughts?
P.S. I have enabled less secure access for gmail account as well.

Answer 1

You simply need to provide play mailer configuration in your application.conf as below
play.mailer.host= "smtp.gmail.com"
play.mailer.port= "46"
play.mailer.ssl= true
play.mailer.user="pari.XXXX#gmail.com"
play.mailer.password="XXXXXXXXXX"

Answer 2

I have replaced play.mailer block with smtp.mock. After this change I am getting email sent by application.
smtp.mock=false
smtp {
host="smtp.gmail.com" #example:
port="465" #example: 465
ssl=true
user="pari.XXXX#gmail.com"
password="XXXXXXXXXX"
from="XXXXXXX"
}
However, I am getting warning -
smtp is deprecated, use play.mailer instead
Anybody has any idea, how to configure mailer configs.
Thanks
