Hey guys,

I'm trying to send off multiple pictures from the mail app. But i keep getting this error message. "Cannot send message using the server smtp.gmail". I think its because the file i'm sending is too big, but i have resized all my pictures and tried putting them in a compressed file but no success. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

From the error message, I would say that the problem is in your configuration. It says it can't send to smtp.gmail, but it should be sending to smtp.gmail.com. However, I haven't used Mail in quite some time, so I don't know whether it just cuts off the .com in error messages.
If I'm wrong, it might help to know whether you are able to send other Mails successfully and the size of the images.

i can send other mails. 3 of the pictures are 16 KB and the other is 20KB
 
it seems to have sorted itself out lol.

Thanks for your help.
