From email and SMTP username are the same. Any help?

You are using details from https://www.hesk.com/knowledgebase/?article=93 right?

In that case, the "Failed to start encryption" sometimes means that the SSL handler (OpenSSL) on the server is outdated. Try updating your PHP and server software.
