let me see if I can gain access to that after dinner

I went from a dedicated server to cheap Go Daddy hosting a couple months ago, and need to get a handle on what I actually have access to.

Given my preference, I'd like to use a throwdown gmail account to be my SMTP if possible. The settings I used were:

- "SMTP Email" to Yes.
- "SMTP Host" to smtp.gmail.com
- "SMTP Port" to 587
- "SMTP Username" to your gmail email address ex. user@gmail.com
- "SMTP Password" to the App Password you created above.
- "SMTP Secure Connection" should be set to TLS.


I cut and pasted the App generated 16 digit password, which pasted without the spaces. I assume that would be correct. Is anyone else doing this?

--------------- Added [DATE]1480013266[/DATE] at [TIME]1480013266[/TIME] ---------------

this is what I get in diagnostics trying the Gmail SMTP method after getting an app password

Pertinent SMTP Settings
SMTP: tls://smtp.gmail.com:587
SMTP Username: ibethuggman@gmail.com

Results
The mailing function returned an error while trying to send the mail.
The following errors were outputted by PHP when attempting to send mail:

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to tcp://smtp.gmail.com:587 (Connection refused) in .../vb/mail/smtp.php on line 181 Warning: Unable to connect to SMTP server in .../vb/mail/smtp.php on line 147
