Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465

Question

I followed this thread to connect to gmail to send email without user intervention:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2020088/sending-email-in-android-using-javamail-api-without-using-the-default-android-ap

I got my jars from: http://code.google.com/p/javamail-android/downloads/list

I have checked my code over many times to insure compliance. I have checked my credentials over and over to insure they are correct. I keep getting the 'Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465'

I am developing using Eclipse on Windows XP SP3. I am attempting to send from my Nexus One. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Have you specified in your app that you're using an SSL connection?

Answer 2

Add this line in the manifest: uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"
