| Although I would love | to have intrinsic VB solution to this proble, | I'm not really familiar with IMAP, but isn't that only for retrieval? I don't understand why you can't use VB SMTP code (like vbSendMail) to email through gmail. There are specs here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287 Is it possible that you used the wrong port? (Most email now requires authentication, using port 587 rather than 25, but using authentication is not problematic in terms of coding it.) I noticed that gmail SMTP also uses a secure logon. That might be an issue. I don't know what's involved in doing that, but it might be worth looking into. It would probably require checking whether a secure connection is required during the initial EHLO exchange (which is easy) and then being ready to encrypt the communication (which may not be easy...I don't know). There's a page here about TLS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security If you figure it out maybe you can post the code back here. :) It looks like it probably requires at least an additional encryption lib., though.
