Hi Matthias,

I ran into your send email stack with TSNet
yesterday while looking for a solution to
some of my livecode email problems.  
After filling in the test fields to send a message
and hitting the send button, it told me the
message was sent, but upon checking my
email it was clear that it never got sent.

I know you put that stack together in 2017
so some things have changed since then
including macOS.  

Have you tested the stack recently at all 
and do you know if it still works?  

If so, the other possibility is that I have 
somehow not filled in one of the fields properly.  
Could you supply a better example using 
gmail smtp settings or something similar,
or update the documentation?

Thanks,

Rick
