Sorry I didnt realize I had to put html formatting into these postings.. see if this is a bit better
smtp.gmail.com didnt work for me without a port number..
The following sort of works for me..
Server smtp.gmail.com:587
authentication basic
ssl checked
Username michelle.sollicito@gmail.com
Password XXXXXXXX
It works because I receive the SMTP config test email at my email address..
except that it gives the following error and then I cant go forward:
