    Thanks Kitt for your suggestions. 
    It turns out that this project uses Javascript vs the other projects using JScript.

My first suggestion, it appears that you are not sending the appropriate parameters to your sendEmail() function - which accepts 5 parameters, and you only pass in 4:

function sendMyTestResults() 
{ 
  sendEmail(1- "myemail@gmail.com", 2- "julie@myemail.com", 3- "Test Results for today", 4- "No test result today"); 
}


function sendEmail(1- mFrom, 2- mTo, 3- mSubject, 4- mBody, 5- mAttach)
{
  // send email stuff
}

Double check your code and how it compares to the script examples from TestComplete [here].

 

One easy way to quickly test SMTP communications on your machine is to open CMD and type

telnet smtp.gmail.com 465, and if you get into telnet you have a connection.

 

If you want to test that you can actually send mail through this port and get some better logging than the generic error your received, use this telnet guide from Microsoft ([here] - step 3).
