Canon maxify 5170 cannot connect to mail server error

Hi,

 

I have setup the mail server using the remote UI from my pc and tested the mail server connection to be successful on my web browser. I am using gmail as my mail server. However, when I try to scan document to email it from device directly, it throws an error code 3418 which states that the machine failed to connect to mail server. I have setup properly the mail server from my web browser thru remote UI. Can anyone help me out with this issue. Thanks.

Hi Canon

I have just bought a canon maxify MB5440 and I am having the same issue with scans failing to send due to a server error.
I have set up the server settings online and tested it. It said successful but the scans are still giving the error.

Please can you help
