Problem using PureSMTP library with Gmail

Hi,
when I use this
Code: Select all
OpenConsole()
MySMTPServer.s = "smtp.gmail.com"
MySMTPPort.l = 465
rc.l = PureSMTP_OpenSMTPConnection(MySMTPServer, MySMTPPort)
Debug rc
the operation seems to hang. When I quit the Purebasic console I get a debug screen with code -3.
Any ideas why this doesn't work?
Thx.

Gmail use SMTP on SSL so you can't use PureSMTP.

That's a pity!
Any other library available for that functionality?

No, neither the PB own SMTP functions nor the PureSMTP library are supporting SSL/TLS connections. As google only supports theese type of connections, you are currently not able to use gmail accounts together with PureBasic.
There may be a way to realize using OpenSSL or additional tools like

Ricardo had a working example of stunnel with pureSMTP in this post.
