Awesome. Look forward to that as well. Thank you for your participation. The more information, the better.

As rwodyplace #13 says, a picture is worth a thousand words. Well I put in the exact same configuration for my gmail account and this is my picture in the Status window:

Camera Name   DCS-930L

As others have said this is so frustrating. Can anyone give me any other ideas? Can I send from a Yahoo address to a gmail address, for example?

You may have to refresh my memory...  What are you trying to do?

The first thing I see that concerns me (not necessarily wrong) are the DNS settings and the default gateway. 

I set my DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and all works well.  The gateway setting should be visible by running ipconfig from a dos box (command line).  Mine is 10.0.1.1 since that is the ip address of my router.  On another setup, I have to use 192.168.1.254... and another is 192.168.0.1 - again, the router's address.

Set up my camera so that it sends email pictures when the motion sensor is activated.

Look at my "picture" in post #13 if this thread and send me a list of your data settings.

[gabbai]

I gave up with gMail! I am sending now from a Yahoo address I set up for this to my gmail address and everything works. These are the data settings:

 SMTP Server Address    smtp.mail.yahoo.com
 SMTP Server Port  465     (Default is 25)
 Sender E-mail Address    [email protected]
 Receiver E-mail Address  [email protected]   
 User Name    xxxx [Yahoo name]
 Password   vvvvvv [Yahoo password]
 Use SSL-TLS/STARTTLS   No  [X] SSL-TLS  STARTTLS

Try port 465 or 587...

rowdyplace - thanks for your help. Everything is working fine now sending images from a Yahoo account to gMail. Don't know why gMail wouldn't work configured the same was as your screenshot but it wasn't worth wasting any more time on.
