My guess from that fact it says 'connection refused', as opposed to some other error message, is that your server is blocking outgoing 465.

I tried to do this setup with Bluehost the other day, using the same settings as what you've described, but had the same issue. After a bit of googling I came to the conclusion that it's because Bluehost block these kinds of ports as they only want you to use their mail server. I couldn't get it working for Google or any other SMTP server.

So perhaps check with your host about blocked ports.

I am using Godaddy for this purpose.. so may be its because of some issue.. you have any idea how to unblock such ports..

That's a server level thing - speak to Godaddy support

hi,
did you set your Googlemail account to allow access?
If not, you need to log into your Google account, then go to the following URL (in the same browser) and click the continue button to allow access:
