Hi, i am really struggling with getting gmail working in my rails app. I have installed this plugin: [https://openrain.com/opensource/public/rails/plugins/action\_mailer\_tls/](https://openrain.com/opensource/public/rails/plugins/action_mailer_tls/) I am implementing the ‘forgot password’ feature in restful\_authentication. Anyway, in my development log it appears that the email is sent, as i see the following: Sent mail: Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:20:01 +1000 From: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid To: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Subject: Mydomain - You have requested to change your password Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 However , i subsequently get this “timeout” error: Timeout::Error (execution expired): /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:54:in `open' /vendor/plugins/action_mailer_tls/lib/smtp_tls.rb:10:in `do\_start’

I have the same problem. Did you find a solution? ---

Just a blind guess. Have you actually logged in with the account you’re sending the email from? If you didn’t please log in and complete the account creation process. If you did please login and ensure there’s no requirement to change your password in next login configured. ---

Well, I did it now and completed the account creation (I did’t have to change the password). But I still have the same error. ---

But I still have the same error. Well that’s a hint. I’d wait a bit in case the account was flagged as spam, o create a new one and complete the process before sending emails. In my case I got a quota problem with 40 emails or so due to that. In my experience action\_mailer\_tls works out-of-the-box, so if it’s properly configured and the Google account itself is OK it should work just fine. ---

Done!! The problem was with the port 587 being blocked by the firewall. Thanks for your support! Guilherme
