Hi Jaison,

You could ask the IT team to make modifications in the server settings to allow less secure apps(it seems like it “sees” UiPath Robot as a less secure app and that’s why it’s not allowing the Robot to access the server)

or

Install Outlook and access the SMTP server via Outlook, as it is a high secure app so the SMTP server will not restrict it.

Here are some links that will guide you more about the SMTP restrictions in Gmail server(which is also a SMTP server):

There are ways to allow low secure apps to access SMTP server. For example, to access gmail server, you need to provide app generated password instead of user password. Similarly, if your SMTP server has some security setting like that, you can use it.
