Please try port 587. Also configure Allow less secure apps. Standard gmail account should have this, just go to My Account.

Hi JennC
I gave it a try what you have suggested, i was thinking this could be it, as not done this before, but unfortuanatly as you can see from the screenshots its still coming up with the error.
