[keycloak-user] "Test connection" in Realm Settings/Email fails

[Bruno Oliveira]

That's really strange. I tested it right now just running:

docker run -e KEYCLOAK_USER=admin -e KEYCLOAK_PASSWORD=admin jboss/keycloak

And used my gmail credentials to test SMTP settings. Everything works
like expected. Including the "Test connection" button.

Anyways, please file a Jira and provide the steps to reproduce, 
environment setup and etc. The more detailed, the better.
