I've already had this camera for three months. And it haven't yet sent a single message! 
No matter how I tried I could not make it work. Different settings, different mail services...
It's always the same: Can not connect to SMTP server.

I connected to it via Telnet and tried to ping smtp.gmail.com.

# ping smtp.gmail.com
PING smtp.gmail.com (2a00:1450:8005::6c): 56 data bytes
ping: can't create raw socket: Address family not supported by protocol

May it be due to my router (Linksys WRT54G2)?
On the other hand, smtp.yandex.ru is pinged successfully, but still doesn't work. 

What else can I try? Is my situation hopeless?

I reset the camera with a toothpick and reinstalled it, updated the firmware...
Nothing helps. And nobody answers on here. I am very upset with this camera!

gmail works fine with my dcs-932l, and did you really expect pinging to work this way? :-)

I think you did not specify the correct settings:

SMTP Server Address	smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Server Port	465
Sender E-mail Address	<your name>@gmail.com
Receiver E-mail Address	<some mail address>
User Name	<your name>@gmail.com
Password	<your password>
Use SSL-TLS/STARTTLS	select SSL-TLS

It was something with my ISP of the time. It works perfectly now.
