You can try using SSL, instead of TLS, and port 465.

If you have set up your Google Account to require 2-step
verification, then you need to set up an app password. I had to
do this for my development machine. Read more:

Thanks Steve, I'll look into this once I get some time.  Also, excuse me for the tags, realized there was a code button once I submitted the OP,
