On this google gmail help page
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287

and in several specific configurations, the instructions state that port 587 may be used instead of 465 for SMTP.

After two hours of wasted time trying to get meaning out of WinAPI Error # -2146893048
as fallout from a failure in the SMTP SSL login, I finally tried 465.

Immediate success.

So, it's true. Google doesn't know everything.

Actually, both the ports can be successfully used, but in different ways. 465 is a dedicated SSL port, while 587 is a redefinition of regular SMTP port (defined instead of 25 by Google).

Usually, secure connection over dedicated port is established during connection stage, but in the case of regular port on STARTTLS command.

MailBee Objects supports both the approaches. Use SSL.UseStartTLS property.

Best regards,
