Advice needed : New e-mail account

To add to this.. Many free services "read" your e-mail to deliver targeted advertising. I put read in quotation marks because it's not that group of popular girls from high school snickering to themselves while they read your e-mail, it's a computer. That computer looks for keywords. If it sees "pool" and "barbeque", you're probably going to get ads for lawn chairs and tiki torches. Maybe your e-mail was "Barbeque the bodies in the pool. We can't have the cops find them." Google doesn't know. Google doesn't care.
In return for this, you get an incredibly secure e-mail account with zero maintenance.

If you would prefer not to have even Google's computers poke through your messages, you can buy a Google for Work account ($5 a month). Honestly, kind of worth it even for a personal account.

 

My N97 is no longer able to send outgoing e-mail through my Gmail account

After a hard reset, my N97 is no longer able to send outgoing e-mail through my Gmail account. I had to set up my e-mail account again on the N97 after the hard reset. I created the e-mail settings with the mailbox guide. I can retrieve my e-mail messages
but I am no longer able to send a new e-mail message.



Now, when I create a new e-mail message (Options, Create message, E-mail) and I select "Send" after creating the message, the N97 keeps trying to connect to my mailbox and gives up after several minutes.



Before the hard reset, I had no problems receiving and sending e-mail messages on my N97, using my Gmail account. What should I do to make it send new e-mail messages?
