 * I can not get this plugin to work. I was looking for and alternative to the mail()
   function because people weren’t getting emails and found this plugin and thought
   I’d give it a try. Unfortunately even though I have all of the required info 
   from google developers and it says it’s connected I can not send a test email.
 * This is my error:
    Connection: opening to smtp.gmail.com:587, timeout=300, options
   =array ()
 * All it does is lock up the page and to escape it I click to my dashboard and 
   this error shows. How do I fix this.

 * Hi, Who is your web host? Did you try SSL on port 465? Please copy and paste 
   the content from the “Server Info” tab so I can take a look.

 * I actually got to the bottom of it, GoDaddy does not allow third party mailing
   systems.
