 > Why not go for PHPMailer v6 (Requires PHP 5.5 or later), because v5 is
 deprecated?

 Per https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/blob/master/UPGRADING.md,
 PHPMailer 6.0 is a major update, breaking backward compatibility.

 I'd suggest updating to the latest PHPMailer 5.x for now, and then
 creating a new ticket to explore what's needed for upgrading to PHPMailer
 6.0.
