I configured database mail profile as gmail smtp server, SSL and port 465. I didn't restart server. And this is first time to use Database Mail feature on that server.

When I send a testing mail it give me this error message:

The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. 
(The operation has timed out)

I tried this mail configuration with Thunderbird and I could send messages througt this SMTP. Why is SQL Server giving this eror message? I searched here but didn't find any solution.
