Your friendly corporate firewall might be blocking outgoing traffic to port 
587. Try doing 'telnet smtp.gmail.com 587'. If you get timeout, this is most 
likely the reason. Your best options is to talk to your IT department to let 
you access to outgoing port 587. If that fails I can think of two workarounds:

1. Use an external server you can control from withing your corporate network 
   (SSH would be best, though I guess your firewall blocks SSH as well)

2. Tunnel SMTP over HTTP somehow. This is quite ugly.

Others on this list may have better solutions for this frustrating problem.
