The problem appears to be with Gmail and Blat; using Gmail and CDO the same account details are working well and using my account and Blat all is well. The log results are: 2013.07.15 15:01:20 (Mon)------------Start of Session----------------- Blat v3.1.1 (build : Feb 27 2013 20:04:29) 32-bit Windows, Full, Unicode Error: Wait a bit (possible timeout). *** Error *** SMTP server error Error: Not a socket. Error: Not a socket. 2013.07.15 15:01:50 (Mon)-------------End of Session------------------ I have to confess I've never kept up with a lot of this technology and the message 'Not a socket' is meaningless to me.
