587 usually works as well.

Just a bit strange that they block port 25 when you are using the SMTP
server from your own hosting/domain.
The   ones I have come across (prepaid SIM card in a 3G wifi router or
USB 3G modem) don't seem to have their own SMTP servers
anyway.

It  gets  particularly  irritating  when you use the SMTP£ server from
your own domain, but your actual Internet connection is not your fixed
line DSL at home. In those cases (e.g. hotel wifi, SIM card in a 3G/4G
router), if you can find what the SMTP server
is,  then  port 25 works, but some don't seem to have one. A VPN fixes
the  problem.  Otherwise,  you  have  to ask your hosting provider for
alternatives to port 25.

I know of several ISPs that do it, and I do it myself on the networks
I manage (especially those that are intended for [more or less]
general public).

That is so strange! 
I've never had a problem like that with Gmail and TB-Imap or Pop.
Am I just lucky?

That   is   a   real   pain  and  rather defeats the point of an email
address.  Sometimes you have to do that if your active
Internet  connection  has a different IP address. Not difficult if you
travel and don't always use the same or even any VPN.

I am surprised port 25 for SMTP works. That is blocked by many ISPs.

My current gmail settings are:-

SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
Connection: Secure to Regular Port (STARTTLS)
Port: 25
Authentication: Tick in Box for "Perform SMTP Authorisation (RFC2554)"
"same user/password as for mail retrieval" selected.

Mail Server:  pop.gmail.com
User:   Recent:myUsername 
Password:   xxx
Connection: Secure to dedicated port (TLS)
Port:   995
Authentication: Regular


For mail retrieval to work, I also have to log onto gmail website 
from time to time and either change my password or turn back on an 
arcanely-named setting called "Allow less secure apps". (And if you 
are now wanting to retrieve messages via IMAP instead of POP3, check 
you have IMAP enabled in the mail settings on the gmail website. You 
can have both enabled.)

Just  a  thought  - do you need to set up an app specific password for
TB on Gmail? I think that I had to do that at some point over the last
year or two in order to continue to use Gmail with TB.

I  am  using  the  same  connection  settings as the others, and these
worked before I upgrade to 7.x, so I don't think it is the TB version.

I tried that, but it still didn't work for me. I wonder if you could
mention all the settings/ports/etc. you're using for both incoming and
outgoing mail on that account? Thanks!

You probably need to use TLS or STARTTLS, but that is a connection 
method rather than an authorisation option. (I use POP3 for my gmail 
account, with "regular" authorisation.)

Can I set up an IMAP account for a gmail address?

[Melissa Reese]

Hi,

I've always used pop3 for my accounts, but I have one new account that
would be more convenient if I could set it up via the IMAP protocol.

I tried to set up the account as IMAP, but the incoming authorization
(according to gmail) seems to want "SSL", which is not listed in the
available authorization options for incoming mail.  Do I need a v7.x
Bat to get that option?  Or will this v6.x version work as well?
Because...

I'm still using a v6.x Bat on this computer. My main computer, which
has v7.x installed, isn't working properly at the moment, so I've been
using this other computer for a few months. As far as I know, I
purchased two different licenses for the two computers, and I don't
think I can "upgrade" this Bat without purchasing a new license.

I'm wondering - since the Bat with the newer license is on a
misbehaving computer at the moment, could I somehow use that license
to upgrade this instance of Bat?

In any event, I'd like to know if there's a way to set up this new
gmail account as IMAP on this machine with Bat v6.x.

Thanks!
