Hi Luis, This problem occurs with SendMail because of an issue Apple introduced with Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 1. It also affects Import from https sites in Mathematica. Updating to the latest Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 2 should address the issue.

Here are three guesses: (third is probably the best) 1. Open up 'preferences' -> 'internet connectivity' -> 'proxy settings' and then play around with the options available. You might also try 'Test Internet Connectivity' to see if Mathematica is being blocked somehow. 2. Another idea: try changing StartTLS to TLS. (more of a wild guess--- I actually use Gmail too, and happen to know StartTLS works for me, but maybe something is different on Mac). 3. Finally, I would recommend configuring as much of the mail/server info as possible in the 'preferences' -> 'internet connectivity' -> 'mail settings'. I actually had my students send me email messages and SMS messages and I replied to their phones. I seem to recall students having trouble if these settings weren't filled out or were in conflict with any options explicitly used in code (as you seem to be doing above, with the port number, encryption settings, etc.) -RG
