Most online mail services block the email ports, so you can't use Outlook, Eudora, Ac Tool, etc to send or receive email...only your web browser.
Your ISP should allow you to, but no guarantees on that.

Yeah, we can thank the worm/virus/trojan writers for killing port 25 for a bunch of ISP customers.

Has anyone figured out how to make this set of commands work nowadays? I would much rather use some sort of workaround that still incorporates the Mailto function than have to actually open up a browser and navigate through the interface pages to send an email.
I used my IP address as my host, didn't work.
I then used Mailuserid/mailuserpassword for my gmail account and my host as gmail, that also didn't work.
So now I am stuck. Is there any way I can open port 25 from my computer or is the port being blocked server-side?

Did you setup your Gmail account to allow POP access?

Standard instructions:
Enable POP in Gmail. Don't forget to click Save Changes when you're done.
Configure your client to match the settings below: Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your full email address (including @gmail.com or @your_domain.com)
Email Address: your email address (username@gmail.com or username@your_domain.com)
Password: your Gmail password
Unless you're using recent mode to download mail to multiple clients, make sure you've opted not to leave messages on the server. Your Gmail settings determine whether or not messages stay on the server, so this setting in your client won't affect how Gmail handles your mail.
Please note that if your client does not support SMTP authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.
Also, if you're having trouble sending mail but you've confirmed that encyrption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.
You're now ready to use POP with your Gmail address.

Another service that doesn't require SSL/TSL.. www DOT inbox DOT com I've used inbox with Remote by Mail.
