STOP!
you should have only executed
from gluon.tools import Mail
server = Mail('smtp.gmail.com:587', 'your...@gmail.com', 'youruser:password'
)
server.send('t...@example.com', 'subject', 'test body')
and copied the output here.
You seem to have entered in the console my example output, that is NOT
something you want to enter in a shell :P
We want to read the shell after those 3 lines to see what is going to
happen: mine was only an example on what a successful connection prints.
