Nothing. I just clicked on that users profile and every post links to this commercial product that I am guessing the person has something to gain financially from making this blatant spam.

MoReese, I was having the same problem recently as you were with the error 5 when emailing with the gmail.vi.  I tried making changes to it as you indicated in your post but am still having the same problem.  I am using the gmail.vi (renamed to email since I am actually using a hotmail account) as a sub-vi inside of a vi I wrote to log some error information and then have it send me a notification of the error and the attached log file.  So I am logging to a file and then emailing the file...but it works fine if I turn off the email functionality and just log to the file, so I am pretty sure the email part is what is giving me trouble.  Any thoughts on what might be giving me trouble?  I am using LabVIEW 2012 professional if that helps identify anything...and please forgive anything that you see in the VIs that are considered bad practice...I'm not near as fluent with LabVIEW as I should be.  Thanks in advance for any help.

I think I have it working now.  I used an example from another thread:

 

https://forums.ni.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/170/thread-id/620520/page/3

 

and modified it a little for my needs.  Once I logged into my email provider so they knew I wasn't spam it seemed to work.  I'll try this for a while and hopefully I won't have any more problems.
