[SOLVED] Evolution and gmail - cannot send messages

I wonder if this is a problem with gmail's smtp server, since this is not the first time I cannot send email via Evolution.

This time this error message appears:

'The reported error was "MAIL FROM command failed: Authentication Required.'

Everything seems to be OK, the settings from gmail's settings are:

server: smtp.googlemail.com port 465
server requires authentication - yes
security: SSL on a dedicated port
authentication: login
username: my complete gmail address

Where is the problem?

For me it's been this way ever since the Gnome 3.14 update hit last week...evolution bug?

edit- I tried resetting the password by deleting it from the keyring in seahorse, no bueno.
