I tried every trick and... it still crashes: the moment you try to send mail through Google with emacs. My latest .emacs code looked as follows: (require 'smtpmail) (require 'auth-source) (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq smtpmail-stream-type 'starttls) (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com") (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com") (setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587) The crash occurs with or without smtpmail-stream-type set. The authentication lives on the ~/.authinfo file, which looks as follows: machine smtp.gmail.com login <my-login> password <my-password> of course, with <my-login> and <my-password> filled with the correct info. There is some confusing information on-line and also in the emacs manual about whether the ~/.authinfo file should be generated by emacs on asking for the login and password on connection, or whether it should be written by the user prior to invoking emacs. If I don't have this file, emacs does not ask me for the login and password, but it crashes anyway. Here's my question to the community: can anyone send e-mail through Google SMTP from emacs-24.3.1 on the latest 64-bit Windows-8/Cygwin? I think the TLS/SSL libraries are fine, because fetchmail works. Greetings, Gustav http://perth.ovpit.indiana.edu/gustav
