I tried that. When I tried to send an email I received the error message: "Unable to authenticate SMTP server. Bad authentication response from server. Please enter the SMTP password for evanhoward on host smtp.gmail.com". I tried a few passwords that might be appropriate and still got the same response. suggestions? Thanks, Evan B. Howard
