Several times per day I get the following error message: "Task "pop.gmail.com-Sending reported error (0x800ccc7D): Your outgoing (SMTP) server does not support SSL-secured connections. If SSL-secured connections have worked in the past, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP)."

This clears itself after awhile and everything is back to normal. What could be the cause of this intermittent error?

Thanks in advance.
