smtp.gmail.com connection failed

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone else has this problem and if a solution has been found.

I have setup up an account on the iPhone for Gmail and it works great. I also have a domain with Google and use their gmail service for it so I setup another account using POP. I created it as "Other" and did all the setup as specified. Very straight forward.

In testing, I am receiving all emails just fine. Sending however is a problem, Most of the time I get a msg on the iPhone that says "Cannot Send Mail The connection to the outgoing server 'smtp.gmail.com' failed."

I have tried listing the smtp server different ways. For example I have attempted to put the port number behind it like, smtp.gmail.com:587 (I have put the port number on and not put it on and it does not seem to make a difference.) I have turned SSL on and off. It seems to not want to find the smtp server.

On the rare occasion, I seem to get a message through. It seems to be perhaps the first message after creating the "other" account.

Anyone else run into this?

Thanks,
-Lane
