Hello.

I use the mew to send a email via gmail smtp server.

When I send a email I get this error"(530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS
command first. )"

maybe i should do sth about TLS?????

Thank you.

That looks like gmail will only let you send emails using
TLS (Transport Layer Security).
This is a scheme that encrypts emails as they are passed
from machine to machine, but are decrypted before you collect them.
Google are probably doing this to protect your SMTP-AUTH (identification/login)
information.

I don't use mew, but look for an for an encryption option,
or see these pages
