I have installed Yam (2.9p1), and have it receiving off my own email server (Raspberry PI), however I send out on a Gmail server (to get around reverse DNS)…

So incoming is working, but outgoing is failing… Although it works on my Windows PC using Thuderbird, in and out.

The message I get is:-

Couldn’t connect to host ‘smtp.gmail.com’
The mail server is currently down or doesn’t support the smtp protocols.

But it does work in Thunderbird.

The settings for outgoing are as follows:-

Active: checked
Description: Gmail
Server/Port: smtp.gmail.com 587
Connection security: STARTTLS
Authentication: PLAIN
User name: my gmail username
Password: my gmail password
Server allows 8bit characters: checked
‘sent’ folder: Sent

Any suggestions are very welcome…
