    Had you configured two-step verification gmail account? If yes then use application-key in place of password. – KV Prajapati Nov 24 '12 at 02:47
  • ah thanks never thought of that one – user1848817 Nov 24 '12 at 02:53
  • yes thanks changed it back to 587 and worked with the application specific key. Sorry for the duplicate post have been searching for the last 4 hours and was just going round in circles and new I must be missing something simple. – user1848817 Nov 24 '12 at 03:12
