Email ERROR: Connection timed out

<< < (3/3)

Jan:
Try some standard non-SSL smtp server, that is usually available from your ISP. It may answer the question if there's some specific problem with gmail or the SD can't access internet at all on your PC. I've tried the SD on more than 10 computers in different locations and never had any problems with gmail.

Carl:
Took me a couple of hours but I finally found a simple fix: I needed to specify port 587 (gmail apps port). So the gmail server I'm using now is:

smtp.gmail.com:587

Thanks for help, and glad I finally have this working. :)

Jan:
Great! I think this is a final solution for anybody who can't send email from the Silence Detector anymore. Their ISP blocks port 25 as I assumed. However gmail and many other email services are now accessible on alternative port 587. Just enter :587 behind the server name. Latest versions of familiar email clients try this automatically so it looks like they work on the default port 25 but they currently use port 587.

The Silence Detector will be updated soon. Thank you.
