Problems with gmail on TB

Setting up a gmail acct & running windows 10 + TB 115.10.1 All incoming email works fine, but outgoing to gmail consisitently fails & gives a timeout message (timeout in 2 minutes). I've tried numerous SMTP settings :

smtp.gmail.com port = 465 and 587 SSL/TLS OAuth2, encrypted, and normal authentication

i have another non gmail account that sends mail just fine using all the above variations. Do i need a longer timeout? If so, i cant see how to set that. Is this just a gmail problem?? Thanks! - JLPE

Don't guess the settings - use smtp.gmail.com, 465, SSL/TLS, or 587, STARTTLS; OAuth2, email address.

Disable antivirus scanning of the profile folder (or remove the AV if it's not Windows Security), and disable VPN if in use.

Check that the affected account is sending on the correct smtp:
