I don't use Windows 8, but I just checked on Windows 7, and it works for me. I created a ~/.authinfo file with the following contents: machine smtp.googlemail.com login port 587 password And I put the following in my ~/.emacs: (require 'smtpmail) (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.googlemail.com") (setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587) (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) [I used "smtp.googlemail.com" because that's the smtp server in my Thunderbird gmail account.] With these settings I can send mail successfully. I do get the following in the *Messages* buffer after sending mail: Sending via mail... gnutls.c: [1] Note that the security level of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange has been lowered to 256 bits and this may allow decryption of the session data Sending email Sending email done gnutls.c: [0] (Emacs) fatal error: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.
