I have tried with 4 different types of software now, and the last is Thunderbird.

Thank you for the reply friend, but this is the error I get now:
Unable to connect to the mail server with the given details.<br /><br />(numbers..): Unable to find the socket transport "tls" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?
It may well be that your server doesn't support SMTP delivery of email. Try contacting your host to see if this is the case.

I think euantor is right,
to answer your question, No I used shared hosting if you're referring to hosted php but as far as in admin cp yes I did enable SMTP and my settings work for my forum in sending hundreds or activation emails a day (on good days) and other system emails. Google gmail service is great once you get it working, however an occasional email doesn't make it to a user.. I assume since I set a DKIM key on host that it's a users web server error and not mine.

This is what I got guys.
The problem is that I also tried with normal PHP mail, but I got same error before. I thought SMTP would work, but that didnt either.
I hope there will be a fix though.
Oh man.. sorry to hear you're having the same issue, are you using a host installed MyBB package or a package you installed? I had a lot of issues because I was first using a host installed 1 click install MyBB package. It had ton of issues until I installed the new install package from here. All kinds of settings were missing. If that's not the case, and if SMTP isn't working, and you're using a Google APPS email (I don't know if regular gmail supports smtp from private hosted sites but I know Google apps does) then I wish I could help you more but I dunno what the issue is. I'm using 1.6.7 and those SMTP settings I gave worked maybe 98% of the time.. I even see when there's a delivery error via admin cp (if my memory serves correctly).
Well..
I do not actually understand what you mean with myBB package. The way I installed it was:
1. Go under downloads.
2. Extract to my host.
3. Configure it, and everything was working (same patch as you)
I used registrated at
www.mail.google.com
I have no idea what a Google Apps mail is, even though I have read a lot about it on different sites. It seems to cost money though?
I could just be Google Apps and not the regular gmail I am using which causes this problem.
lol well it's sound like voodoo to me, you can get started with Google Apps for free, try this link:

EDIT:
if you do host your mail with google apps be sure to go to advanced setting later and use a DKIM with your domain.. instructions are included on that page.
