Error using sendmail - Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 25;

I"m trying to send Email from my Matlab to my Email account. I used the following code:

props = java.lang.System.getProperties; props.setProperty('mail.smtp.auth','true'); setpref('Internet','SMTP_Server','smtp.gmail.com'); setpref('Internet','SMTP_Username','[e-mail]'); setpref('Internet','SMTP_Password','myGmailPasword'); subject='first mail from my Matlab'; sendmail('[e-mail]',subject)

But received the following error message:

"Error using sendmail (line 171) Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 25;"

I would be grateful to anyone willing to help. Eitam Luz

You must enable StartTLS and spécifie the port :

props.setProperty( 'mail.smtp.starttls.enable', 'true' );
props.setProperty( 'mail.smtp.socketFactory.port', '587' );

This answer is a bit late, but if it can still help you...
