Really strange is one thing. When I try to do the same thing in Eclipse, the autocomplete doesn't show setUsername and setPassword methods. I wonder are they possible or is Eclipse buggy with, that feature. – Eugene
@Eugene As far as I can tell, the magic __call() method handles those functions, so the lack of autocomplete is normal (no @method phpdoc either). – Maerlyn
Ou. Okey. Didn't look into that. Thanks. – Eugene
Please refer the Tutorial, It is showing how to use Shiftmailer sgeek.org/send-email-attachment-using-swiftmailer-symfony – Gopal Joshi

GMail's SMTP requires encryption. Use:

Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 465, "ssl");

there is missing the ssl parameter, it should be something like that 

Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 465, "ssl")

Tested and work fine

Swift SmtpTransport - Code (send a email)

The SMTP of GMAIL is: smtp.googlemail.com

The Full Code:

<?php
$pEmailGmail = '[email protected]';
$pPasswordGmail = '********';
$pFromName = 'MundialSYS.com'; //display name

$pTo = '[email protected]'; //destination email
$pSubjetc = "Hello MundialSYS"; //the subjetc 
$pBody = '<html><body><p>Hello MundialSYS</p></html></body>'; //body html

$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.googlemail.com', 465, 'ssl')
            ->setUsername($pEmailGmail)
            ->setPassword($pPasswordGmail);

$mMailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

$mEmail = Swift_Message::newInstance();
$mEmail->setSubject($pSubjetc);
$mEmail->setTo($pTo);
$mEmail->setFrom(array($pEmailGmail => $pFromName));
$mEmail->setBody($pBody, 'text/html'); //body html

if($mMailer->send($mEmail) == 1){
    echo 'send ok';
}
else {
    echo 'send error';
}
?>

I have managed to get this working without the SSL, here is how:

$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('tls://smtp.gmail.com', 465)
            ->setUsername('[email protected]')
            ->setPassword('password');
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

$message = Swift_Message::newInstance($subject)
            ->setFrom(array($emailTo=>$name))
            ->setTo(array($emailTo=>'Neo Nosrati'))
            ->addPart($body,'text/plain')
            ->setReturnPath('[email protected]');

I cannot be sure, but I think that Gmail's port is 587 using TLS, which is not SSL, but a newer version of it. You should check into that, because I think you are placing the wrong construction code.

Best of luck!

I'm using the "Messages Swift Mailer" bundle in Laravel 3 and having the same issue. After some testing, in my case, the solution was to set the same email address that I used in the SMTP authentication on the "from" parameter.

I was trying to use a different address and that was triggering the "swiftmailer expected response code 220 but got code with message" error.

Hope that helps.

I got same error before and i added "ssl" parameter in Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 465, "ssl") like osos said.

IT WORKS!! thanks..:D

this is my code:

<?php
require_once 'swift/lib/swift_required.php';

$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 465, "ssl")
  ->setUsername('[email protected]')
  ->setPassword('XXXXXXX');

$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance('THIS IS THE SUBJECT')
  ->setFrom(array('[email protected]' => 'YOUR NAME'))
  ->setTo(array('[email protected]' => 'YOU'))
  ->setBody('This is the text of the mail send by Swift using SMTP transport.');
//$attachment = Swift_Attachment::newInstance(file_get_contents('path/logo.png'), 'logo.png');  
//$message->attach($attachment);
$numSent = $mailer->send($message);
printf("Sent %d messages\n", $numSent);
?>

For google apps, in addition to setting to port 465 and ssl as recommended in the accepted answer, you may have to enable allow less secure apps setting, as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/25238515/947370
