Send E-Mail with Gmail and Microsoft Outlook/Hotmail/Live

[efmer]

TThrottle supports, (Google) Gmail and Microsoft (Outlook, Hotmail, Live)

Outlook, Hotmail, Livel

Make sure to send an e-mail, after you opened a new account.

smtp.live.com	"Outgoing server (SMTP)"
25	"Port"
xxxx@outlook.com	"User name"
xxx	"Password"

Make sure to check "TLS"

Change the user name into your own user name.

Alternative port: 587 as some providers block port 25.


GMail

First check if you have enabled pop. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13273

Use the following settings


Port: 25 or 587
Username: (account name without @gmail.com)

Some providers block port 25. If they do you get the message TLS not supported by the POP3 server, use 587 instead.

If you still have problems, send me the log that you can find here:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\eFMer\TThrottle\maillog.txt
Vista: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\eFMer\TThrottle\maillog.txt

If you still run into problems you can enable email logging:

In the folder C:\Program Files\eFMer\TThrottle you find tthrottle.xml, if it isn't there copy it from \examples

Somewhere you will find

<logging>
<file>0</file>
<email>1</email>
</logging>

<email> may not be there, it that case add <email>1</email> as shown above.
otherwise change 0 into 1.

1 sets logging of the email process.

Editing the file may be impossible, if so start notepad as administrator, or copy the file to another location, change it, and copy it back.

After the changes are stored, restart TThrottle

Try the email again, now you should see exactly what is send to sendemail.exe.
