Hi

Trying to try out Zimbra desktop, but don't get it working. Installs allright but when setting up my gmail account it gives me the following error message: "Cannot connect to "SMTP server". Please check host/port and network connectivity.".

I use the gmail option in zimbra. My gmail account has Imap enabled. downloaded zimbra to day so it should be latest version. windows 7 64bit, swedish. used the swedish localization option so all error messages will be in swedish.

Thanks for any help.

Found this reported bug: Bug 37598 – Unable to create GMAIL account when non-local SMTP is blocked

Seems this is what plaguing me.
Have a nice day everybody.

Got it working, kind of, anyway.

I was connnecting through a vpn (please don't tell my mother) and disabling that made it work. I don't want it disabled so no zimbra for me just now.
