Hi,
smtp.gmail.com port is : 587/465
pop.gmail.com port is : 995
if u r using ssl connection then use port 465 for smtp.gmail.com. if u r using non-ssl connection means TLS type then u should use port 587 for smtp.gmail.com.
For any further assistance u can refer to this forum - http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=43 assuming u r using javamail api.
