This is being reposted because I accidentally included my email address in the previous post. ******************************************* 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 = "<USERNAME>@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.

You use: X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2670 so find the actions needed to delete that post. Maybe selecting the message and pressing the Delete key is enough. Hans.

Well, I used the delete key and it no longer appears on my newsreader, so I thought it was gone for good. If it still appears, I'll just not bother with it anymore. I'm not too worried about it getting spammed. Thanks for the help. My SMTP issue is still unresolved though, if anybody has any advice.
