[Blindtlk] can't send email using Microsoft Outlook and Gmail account

[Steve Jacobson]

Be sure that Authenticated SMTP is checked.  Also be sure SSL has been specified.  It is possible you had only one or the other specified.  On my GMail 
account, I am using port 587, so I'm not sure that is the problem.  I would think, though, that you would get an error, but it is possible that you are and it 
just isn't obviously displayed on the screen.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
