How come the activation email doesn't get sent?
Your Username needs to be your gmail account.

I'm using Google Apps Email, so "[email protected]" would technically be considered a Gmail account.

What webhost are you using?
I've had trouble with multiple webhosts when attempting to use SMTP.

Take out ssl://, SSL is already specified in another field.
Took out ssl:// and it works.
Thanks.

No problem Smile
Why does it take so long for the email to arrive?
Is there a faster alternative?

Byethost doesn't support PHP mail.
Also, PHP mail isn't really faster, it all depends on your mail host. In this case, gmail.
It also depends on what email service you're using to receive the message.
