I'm having trouble configuring my Google account. I keep getting this
message:
"Your SMTP server has not responded in 60 seconds. Would you like to wait
another 60 seconds for the server to respond?
"Account: pop.gmail.com
"Server: smtp.gmail.com"

I seem to be able to send mail from the Google website so their server is
probably OK.

Any advice?
 
The server on the website has nothing to do with the SMTP server.

Next time you get that error message, click Cancel. That should produce
a more complete error message which will include the protocol type,
port number, and SSL option status. Right-click on that error message,
copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.

Also check your settings with these instructions:

I am having a similar problem - I have reset all of my settings on gmail and
on outlook to match. i just received this error "An unknown error has
occurred. Subject 'O.R.M., Incorporated - Backlog Summary - Detail Report',
Account: 'imap.gmail.com', Server: 'smtp.gmail.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server
Response: '421 4.7.0 Temporary System Problem. Try again later ().

Your settings look correct. It appears to be a temporary server malfunction.
How long has this problem been going on?
