GMail access across SMTP requires a SSL-enabled client. You can write an appropriate interface with OpenSSL, but you'll have to write a wrapper DLL in C or C++ before you can make calls to OpenSSL from Delphi (some things in OpenSSL can only be done from C/C++). Here's how it looks in a pretty ASCII picture: Delphi code -> C++ DLL -> OpenSSL DLL/static library. TLS 1.0 is the successor to SSL v3. (And SSL v3 is the successor to SSL v2, which almost no one uses anymore). -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 Safe C++ Design Principles (First Edition) Learn how to write memory leak-free, secure, stable, portable, and user-friendly software.
