Does anyone know how to use the E-Mail feature to send files via GMAIL. I have entered all of the correct information in the E-Mail preferences and it will not work.
Here are my settings: Type: SMTP Server Path to SMTP: smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 (I have also tried 25 and 587) Type: Login Link to GMAIL settings: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287 - GMAIL Settings |

Hi, Thanks for asking. I did some testing, and gmail is not working with the current version of PDF reDirect Pro. PDF reDirect Pro is using an older Microsoft CDO e-mail engine which does not support the SSL technology that gmail uses. However, the good news is that I believe I can fix this for the next version of PDF reDirect Pro. I did some testing today, and it's working. For the record, you will need the following settings: Type: SMTP Server Path to SMTP: smtp.gmail.com Port: 587 Type: Plain I am actively working on the next version of PDF reDirect Pro, with some major improvements - which is why I do not have an exact release date yet (a few months?). Sorry. My recommendation would be to tie a desktop e-mail client such as Outlook or Thunderbird to your gmail account, and send your e-mails via the MAPI technology. I hope this helps. ------------- Michel Korwin-Szymanowski EXP Systems LLC |

Hi, Good news! It's turning out to be a much simpler fix than I thought. I do need to make a very small code change, but I should be able to make a fix available today or tomorrow. The settings that work will be: Type: SMTP Server Path to SMTP: smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 << this port works better than 587 Type: Plain SSL: (checked) << this will be added to the new version Cheers!
