Jason,
Thanks for reply, its host at VM behind a firewall, but I already verify that SMTP sever is accessible from Moodle VM.
To make sure the connectivity I use Power Shell & separate PHP page to send an email from same server using same SMTP settings and it is working fine .
Only Moodle is unable to send an email.
Moreover I try different smtp settings that's working perfectly in other applications but in Moodle its also fails and error message remains the same. 

Error message remains the same  " Your site couldn't communicate with your mail server. Please check your outgoing mail configuration. "

Is there any way inside the Moodle that i can trouble shoot the issue. ?

The straightforward method would be to check the logs of the SMTP server. That said, it is odd that you've filled "mywebserver.com" under SMTP hosts?

BTW, this is not about a plug-in, rather a core functionality in Moodle.

I am running into similar issues. I have tried setting it up for office365 as well as gmail to no avail.

Not sure what is going on.

Any tips?

Hi Brigitte

You should start a new discussion explaining your platform, what you did exactly setting up the e-mail and the results you got.

P.S. I changed the subject line to match the question.
