SendPix .NET utility (please test)

Look carefully. I do not use Gmail's SMTP server. John is.

This may help

Tried 465 and other one - progress wheel spinning but nothing else happens.

Below is error message I got after re-downloading utility after Dmitry's last message.

Thunderbird with Gmail have been working fine for over a year now so settings must be OK.

One thing that might be pertinent though, the utility is putting the new options and address .ini files onto the desktop rather than replacing those in the folder. I did try manually replacing them when I realised but still no joy.

GMail access fixed. Thanks to Steve. Please redownload.

To use Gmail set following options:

EnableSsl = True
SMTPPort = 587
SMTPServer = smtp.gmail.com

-----------------------------------
P.S. options are stored in and taken from "options.ini" file in folder where SendPix is launched from.

Oh dear

Still no, I'm afraid. Tried the server input with 'googlemail' [as it is in thunderbird] rather than 'gmail' but same result.

**EDIT** Also tried with server authentication checked

This is options.ini - know nothing about such things but I'm wondering whether that 'k' should be there?

John you have not entered anything for the server to authenticate you by?
You need to put your login and password in the options.

It works fine when all information is correct and present.

(PS: options.ini is not a text file you can edit in notepad, it's a binary type)

Gmail screenshot showing the mail received into the Inbox successfully and was resized to 640x*

Yeah, get that, but the revised files - options and address - are being saved on my desktop, not into the folder with the program. But I suspect that might have something to do with my having two desktops [using Manage Desk] and the path I used to save the SendPix folder. I'll investigate that.
