Problem with connecting to Gmail SMTP server
 
I'm feeling very stupid at the moment because I have been reading a lot different topics about connecting to Gmail's SMTP but still cannot manage to get it working. POP3 connection works fine.

I'm using the following settings:

SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
Connection: Have tried both Secure to regular port (STARTTLS) and Secure to dedicated port (TLS)with ports 465 and 587.

Authentication:
Perform SMTP Authentication (RFC 2554): Checked
Use specific settings: Selected
Username: user@gmail.com
Password: password

When connecting I get the following error:
SEND - Couldn't connect to 66.249.93.109 trying subsequent addresses...
SEND - Connecting to 66.249.93.111
SEND - Could not connect to the server

Could it be that my firewall at work and home are blocking the connection? But still POP3 is working.
 
Managed to get it working.

My firewall was blocking the connection. After disabling it temporarily, it worked fine.
 
i am not using firewall, why i still can not send out email from the gmail smtp. any one can help.
