I'm going to guess your old ISP didn't require SMTP Authentication
and you simply had your old ISP mail server set as the outgoing mail
server for your gmail account in Emailer. That would have worked fine
for sending.
You mentioned you are now using the P3 version to get SMTP Auth. With
that, you can not use the SMTP server from one host with the POP
account settings from another. The P3 version uses the POP username
and password to authenticate to the SMTP server. So you would have to
setup a 2nd ISP account in Emailer, but change the Email Address
field (not Email Account field) to your gmail address. Then the P3
version will send via your ISP mail server, authenticate with your
ISP pop username and password, but include the gmail address as the
return address in the email itself.
Or, just move to a mail client that doesn't make you go thru this
nonsense.
My new ISP absolutely cannot use SSL. The tech guy made me uncheck it
for both outgoing and incoming in Mail.
What your ISP wants only matters for their mail servers. If you are
trying to use Gmails, then turn on SSL.

That link will take you to GMail's setup directions for Apple Mail
3.0. The same directions work for Mail 2.x although the screen shots
may be slightly different (I have two Gmail accounts setup on this
computer and I'm currently running whatever Mail 2.x version is on OS
X 10.4.11)
If you are saying above that your new ISP doesn't allow SSL traffic
across their network, run away from them as fast as you can. SSL is
the heart of secure communications, such as banking websites. If you
can't do SSL traffic on their network, you can't do anything secure.
And I can't believe that is really what they are saying. Rather they
are saying their mail server's don't support SSL, which is fine
because you aren't going to be sending your gmail mail via their mail
server, you are going to send it via the gmail mail server when you
use Apple's Mail.
Although, in Apple's mail, you can mix and match inbound and outbound
servers. So you can setup to receive Gmail in Mail, and then set the
outbound mail server to use your ISP. In Mail, you can specify the
username and password to use with the SMTP server and those need not
be the same as being used on the POP server as Emailer P3 version
requires.
