I am having some difficulty getting SMTP to work with Gmail. I know that this can be done, because I used to have my Outlook client configured to send and receive Gmail (via STMP and POP3), and the server/port/options to make such a connection are listed on the Gmail help pages. However, I cannot get the connection to work in my program. Prior to this my program worked fine because I used another SMTP server, but it has since been disconnected so I need to use Gmail. Here is the code: SMTPClient->AuthenticationType = atLogin; SMTPClient->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; SMTPClient->Password = <PASSWORD> SMTPClient->Port = 465; SMTPClient->UserId = "young.blake@gmail.com"; SMTPClient->Connect(); SMTPClient->Send(EmailMessage); SMTPClient->Disconnect(); The problem is that the program just hangs on the Connect() line indefinitely. While hanging, however, I ran netstat and saw that a connection to the smtp.gmail.com server was made. I tried adding the Send() command to the OnConnected event handler, and this handler method WAS executed, but then the program hung AGAIN on the Send() command. When I was using my previous SMTP server, I did not need the OnConnected handler. The Connect() method would return after a connection was made, and everything would follow sequentially.
