>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I am trying to send email using GMAIL server. For SMTP I use "smtp.gmail.com", port 465, and then user gmail user ID and password.
>>>But I get a message "cannot connect to the server"
>>>Is there a setting or something I am missing?
>>>
>>>TIA
>>
>>I do it from Chilkat all the time. That handles the TLS/SSL by a setting.
>>
>>The other thing to know: if you have set up 2FA for that gmail account (a good idea) you have to generate an "Application Password" in the gmail settings (Google to find the place to do this) and use that in place of the "normal" password.
