I don't no how to "Play-by-E-mail" without individually sending each save to the next player. It said something about setting my email and smtp in the game to send the saves from the game?

Thanks,

Chaos

Gmail, among others, doesn't work properly because its servers don't use default SMTP ports.

If you could, that'd be extremely helpful - the popular opinion is that Gmail doesn't work, and I know several players sending "manually" via Gmail now (including me).

So hopefully the answer might crop up there, if it does I'll repost it here. :)
