SMTP & GMAIL

[JTaylor]

The following code worked fine until recently using port 25.   Now it tells me it can't authenticate.   If I use the recommended port 465 it doesn't give me an error but it eventually times out.   Anyone have any code that works with GMAIL for SMTP mail?   I've enabled the POP mail setting on the email account.  Other suggestions?   Thanks.

Try port 587.

I get the same message I get with port 25 and bad login info.   I've also turned off my [software] firewall but get the same results.

Then you haven't modified your gmail account settings to allow less secure apps to access your gmail account.  Google is becoming more and more like the old Microsoft.

You beat me to it.   Finally found that little caveat in the Help section.   Once I enable that option and use port 587 it works.  Thanks.
