Here are my full settings:

Secure authentication: Login
User name: xxxxx@gmail.com
Password: ****
Secure connection: SSL
Port: 465
After using the wizard to set up my gmail account on my N900, it would receive but not send mail. After changing the outgoing server as in cheungs' post above, the issue was resolved.

Strangely, other people (not necessarily N900 users) seem to have resolved a similar issue last year by performing the reverse operation.

Ah well. If it works, it works.
