smtp with gmail

[calimero]

Hello everybody,

I've got a question, I just opened an account on Gmail, and I can use the pop feature without any problem, but I cant use the smtp server. it's not working and I don't understand why.

I was wondering if there is something special to do with my WL-500g?
Since it a secured smtp server on a special port (465) I think I may have something to do with the router. I can use the POP feature, and I use other pop3 and smtp (non SSL) without any problem.

I do not chnage a lot of thing in my router conf, it's almost the default one, except for the wifi, where I put some WPA-PSK...

You can see below the image for Gmail where they explain how to setup the accoubd on Outlook. I did exactly what they show, and smtp feature does not work.

Any help :confused:

Thanks

Most likely your ISP blocks outgoing SMTP traffic to prevent SPAM.

Thanks for the answer, but I don't think so.

I've got friends of mine that have the same ISP, and he use gmail smtp without any problem. By the way I use other smtp services with no problems (I mean not only the smtp server of my ISP) :rolleyes:

When they block SMTP they usually block port 25, no? Anyways you should probably just use the SMTP server of your ISP. There is no need to use gmails smtp-server unless you are constantly on the move, like with a laptop.

I agree with you,

But that was not my question. I was just wondering if there is somthing I've done wrong with my wl-500g
