/*
But it returns a vmime exception at tr->connect() : "Authentication error." From what I understand, when I connect through port 465 on smtp.gmail.com I use classical ssl/tls ( no starttls, no sasl ) I've tried forcing sasl, adding @gmail.com to the end of my username, and encoding my creds in base64 like I would if I was running AUTH LOGIN through openssl from a terminal. What am I doing wrong?
I'm using QT C++ on Linux.  Thanks a million!
