Hmmm.  I don't but maybe this will help.  Try plugging in your values
to this (for mail client backend, username, passwsord, etc).  This
would also allow you to specify several mail servers, I believe, if
you use them, by adding them under "add-to-list 'mail-sources ..."



(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))
(eval-after-load "mail-source"
 '(add-to-list 'mail-sources '(pop :server "pop.gmail.com"
                                   :user "rodolfo.medina@gmail.com"
                                   :password "insertyourpassword")))
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials
 '(("smtp.gmail.com" 25 "rodolfo.medina@gmail.com" "insertyourpassword")))


Hope this helps!
