I get an error stating that: "TLS unavailable with this server:smtp.gmail.com"
Is this a Windows machine?
If so, the problem is almost certainly due to anti-virus software on your
system that sets itself up as a man-in-the-middle for "outgoing mail
filtering."
Some of these programs have a list of programs which are allowed to evade
the filter. Of course, any self-respecting virus writer knows this, and
will make his virus masquerade as one of these programs.
Disable the "outgoing mail filtering" in your anti-virus software. It's a
useless feature, and it's harmful. Outgoing mail filtering is properly
the responsibility of the mail submission server, not the user's PC.
