Hi Andrea, Have you tried temporarily turning off your Windows firewall software and/or any locally installed internet security software like Norton, Avast, etc? You don't need to turn off your entire security package, just the component that controls internet access.
If the problem can not be resolved locally, then I believe you need to contact your IT department to have them create the firewall rules that will allow you to access gmail services. I'm basing that suggestion on googling the various error messages (10060, 10061) you received and reading the answers. That's my interpretation, anyway. I'm a big fan of your wxPython and GUI builder contributions!! Regards, Malcolm -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
