Hi blanzon, you wrote "my user, pw, smtp.gmail.com". Just skip the "smtp" and go with "my user, pw, gmail.com" only.

Good luck with fixing and kind regards

My settings (which do work) has this in the main section

X.X@gmail.com
pw
gmail.com 

Advanced then has 

smtp.gmail.com
465
X.X@gmail.com

Use TLS is checked.

I'm using the main gmail account setup (not an application password).

    Thanks StephenB!

     

    I tried but still didn't work. However, updated the security setting on my gmail and it has now worked. Seems previously Gmail was blocking access. Thanks!
