In Outlook, I'm setting up a Gmail account and I'm not able to send mails because my ISP is blocking SMTP forward.
Any ways to bypass this?
EDIT
I've tried different settings, followed Gmail support inscructions and still not working.
telnet smtp.gmail.com 465 telnet smtp.gmail.com 587 telnet smtp.gmail.com 25all of them reply:
Connecting To smtp.gmail.com…Could
not open connection to the host, on
port xxx : Connect failed
and I don't have an email acount from my ISP.
From time to time I get errors when sending mail through Gmail's SMTP server. It always solves itself without my intervention. I just need to wait a few minutes/hours.
I would abandon Google's SMTP server were it not for keeping a history of my received/sent mail on Gmail.
If you go to - http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and download putty.exe
click 'Open' at the bottom and you should get
If you get that then everything is connecting, if it isn't then you've got another problem. (I very much doubt that your iSP is blocking this though - if it is a work computer it could well be your work doing so)
Best Answer
When using your provider's SMTP server, just be sure to have your email client copy the sent items to the Sent Items folder on the server.
(When using Gmail's server, your email client does not have to copy the sent items. More on Gmail IMAP settings at How should I configure Mail.App and Google Mail?)
