be sure you opened your secure setting ;

also dont open this part $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; when you open the setting..

date_default_timezone_set('Etc/UTC');
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$mail->isSMTP();
//Enable SMTP debugging
// 0 = off (for production use)
// 1 = client messages
// 2 = client and server messages
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
$mail->Host = 'smtp.mailgun.org';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = "#email.com";
$mail->Password = "**************";
$mail->setFrom('emailTo','name' );
$mail->addAddress('emailFrom', 'name');
$mail->addAddress('');

$mail->msgHTML("<h1>Succes!</h1>");
$mail->AltBody = 'Succes';
if (!$mail->send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
I have soomething that works
Change
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
to
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
As it states on the 1and1 email outgoing server info "Outgoing port (TLS must be activated)"

Have you enabled access to less secure apps from your gmail id??
Please try this
<?php
include "PHPMailer_5.2.4/class.phpmailer.php"; // include the class name
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465; // or 587
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "gmailusername#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "**********";
$mail->SetFrom("anyemail#gmail.com");
$mail->Subject = "Here is the subject";
$mail->Body = "This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>";
if(!$mail->Send()){
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else{
echo "Message has been sent";
}
?>
Please edit your gmail and password correctly.

You need to use TLS, not SSL if you're using going to use gmail. Here is an example below
//Create a new PHPMailer instance
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//Tell PHPMailer to use SMTP
$mail->isSMTP();
//Enable SMTP debugging
// 0 = off (for production use)
// 1 = client messages
// 2 = client and server messages
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
//Ask for HTML-friendly debug output
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
//Set the hostname of the mail server
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
// use
// $mail->Host = gethostbyname('smtp.gmail.com');
// if your network does not support SMTP over IPv6
//Set the SMTP port number - 587 for authenticated TLS, a.k.a. RFC4409 SMTP submission
$mail->Port = 587;
//Set the encryption system to use - ssl (deprecated) or tls
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
//Whether to use SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
//Username to use for SMTP authentication - use full email address for gmail
$mail->Username = "username#gmail.com";
//Password to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Password = "yourpassword";
//Set who the message is to be sent from
$mail->setFrom('from#example.com', 'First Last');
//Set an alternative reply-to address
$mail->addReplyTo('replyto#example.com', 'First Last');
//Set who the message is to be sent to
$mail->addAddress('whoto#example.com', 'John Doe');
//Set the subject line
$mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer GMail SMTP test';
//Read an HTML message body from an external file, convert referenced images to embedded,
//convert HTML into a basic plain-text alternative body
$mail->msgHTML(file_get_contents('contents.html'), dirname(__FILE__));
//Replace the plain text body with one created manually
$mail->AltBody = 'This is a plain-text message body';
//send the message, check for errors
if (!$mail->send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
