Hey Andreas,
I can't get gmail to work via email here... Can you see if you are able to run a test message via a Gmail account?
I'm using the following settings (which I use for POP3/SMTP in Outlook for my account just fine).
Sender Address: Username@gmail.com Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465
Username: GmailUsername
Password: GmailPassword
Use SSL: Checked
I click Send test-email and the program stops responding. I click to close it and I get the windows 7 pop-up to try to recover the program... I do that, and I get the following error pop-up: http://i45.tinypic.com/2drvqc6.png
Further, it seems as though it isn't respecting the "When no longer available after check count" value as I have it set at 5 and it sends emails immediately upon failing the first check. This happens regardless of what email system I use.

Hello Brent,
first thanks for your message!
Sending the test message works fine with my Google Mail account when using the settings as shown in the Check Host help system:
Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 587
Username: [your Google Mail e-mail address]
Password: [your Google Mail password]
Use SSL: Checked
Please try again with these settings.
Regarding the other mentioned problem:
there was a bug fix regarding that not so long ago. Please check if you're using the most recent version (1.1.8) and if not, please update to this version first.
Best regards
Andreas |

Perfect. Using that port works great for gmail and the new version does indeed fix the timeout issue on my one machine. I thought the other was already up to date, but I'll double check. |
