Hi. I'am not able to receive and send mails since last 36 hours. The message displayed on sending a mail is:Sending of message failed. An error occurred sending mail: Could not get password for smtp.gmail.com. The message was not sent. When I try to download messages received, it just shows connected to pop.gmail and nothing happens after that. Has anyone else faced this problem. Thank You!
