Gmail / GoDaddy - Settings to configure Gmail to use GoDaddy's SMTP

1. smtpout.secureserver.net
2. Select port 465 587
3. Enter your email address
4. Enter your password
5. Enable SSL

You get this error if you unselect SSL and use Port 25:
Authentication failed. Please check your username/password.
[Server response: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 500 Remote server does not support TLS (state 6). code(500) ]

You get this error if you select SSL and use port 465:

Authentication failed. Please check your username/password.
[Server response: 451 Internal error. code(451) ]

You get this error if you use the incorrect SMPT Server:
Your other email provider is responding too slowly. Please try again later, or contact the administrator of your other domain for further information.

Edited
20150909 - Microsoft smtp server changed to port 587 a long while ago. If I recall, I didn't run into any issues using Google's wizard to connect to my microsoft accounts. Also see, http://dlastlee.blogspot.com/2012/12/gmail-hotmail-settings-to-configure.html.
