Hello

I have been having issues with the IMAP accesss of gmail. Specially with the smtp server config.

For Gmail Imap support these are the settings,

Imap.gmail.com

993

ssl

incoming

outgoing

465 or 587

tls

The incoming works fine for incoming but the Outlook 2010 and Outlook cannot send emails and the error I get is "Outlook cannot connect to the outgoing server"

When I changed the outgoing mail setting of the smtp of my personal domain than it works fine.

Has the smtp config changed for gmail??

Please help

you don't list your outgoing servers fqdn?

Have you tried just telnet to the fqdn and port - do you get a connection?

  • smtp.gmail.com
  • Port: 465 or 587
  • Requires SSL: Yes
  • Requires authentication: Yes

budman@ubuntu:~$ telnet smtp.gmail.com 465

Trying 74.125.142.109...

Connected to gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.

Escape character is '^]'.

telnet smtp.gmail.com 587

Trying 74.125.142.108...

Connected to gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.

Escape character is '^]'.

220 mx.google.com ESMTP hg2sm9822975igc.3

Looks to be working to me - from a connection standpoint on those ports.

Might be related or not, but what ISP connection are you on? My work internet connection doesn't allow SMTP connections, so I can receive but can't send for example. Some ISPs don't allow outbound SMTP connections to any server other than their own (probably as a spam measure) too.

Agreed, some don't allow outbound on 25 - but gmail uses different ports that can not be used for standard sending of email. 465 and 587 it would be odd for isp to block those ports. But telnet test would verify this.

So its possible your local firewall? Is blocking the connection? Or you don't have it setup correctly with 2013 outlook compared to your previous 2010 outlook you mention.

from a quick look do not seem to find anything different for setup - but seems back in july there was some issues with the new 2013 version and gmail.

Hi Budman

I sorted it out. There is a option in outlook to repair the account. I did that and boom it started to work Upon checking the SSL and TLS port. To my suprise the smtp port worked at 25 TLS not the usual ones for gmail.

thanks for your help.:)

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
