Error sending email

[Eustace]

I've been using 2 email addresses, a basic .edu and the gmail
address I am using now.

But when trying to send an email using this email I got this
error alert:

=================
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded:
5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. d207sm120755ywa.62 -
gsmtp. Please verify that your email address is correct in your
account settings and try again+
=================

What's wrong?

Check the settings for smtp.gmail.com. It should be STARTTLS on port 587 or SSL/TLS on port 465.

Thanks. I do not how it was port 25, I never had set it. But now
after a long time, it says:

Sending of the message failed.
The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing
server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com timed out. Try again.

?

Timeouts are often due to antivirus scanning outgoing mail, so see if disabling that, if it's in place, corrects the timeout.
