RE: Blat Problem

Hi Ted,

Thanks for your invaluable (as always) help. The problem appears to be with

Gmail and Blat; using Gmail and CDO the same account details are working

well and using my account and Blat all is well. The log results are:

2013.07.15 15:01:20 (Mon)------------Start of Session-----------------

Blat v3.1.1 (build : Feb 27 2013 20:04:29)

32-bit Windows, Full, Unicode

Error: Wait a bit (possible timeout).

*** Error *** SMTP server error

Error: Not a socket.

2013.07.15 15:01:50 (Mon)-------------End of Session------------------

I have to confess I've never kept up with a lot of this technology and the

message 'Not a socket' is meaningless to me.
