Sendmail error / Error using ==> sendmail at 168

Hi, I have a problem with a script in Matlab. When I run my script: _________________________________________

clear all
clc

mail='*********@gmail.com';
password='*****';

setpref('Internet','E_mail',mail);
setpref('Internet','SMTP_Server','smtp.gmail.com');
setpref('Internet','SMTP_Username',mail);
setpref('Internet','SMTP_Password',password);
props = java.lang.System.getProperties;
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.auth','true');
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.class', 'javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory');
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.port','465');
props.put('mail.smtp.starttls.enable','true');

% Send the email. Note that the first input is the address you are sending the email to
sendmail(mail,'Test from MATLAB','Hello! This is a test from MATLAB!')

________________________________________________

I have the following error message:

_________________________________________________

??? Error using ==> sendmail at 168 Exception reading response; sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Error in ==> test_gmail at 18 sendmail(mail,'Test from MATLAB','Hello! This is a test from MATLAB!') ____________________________________________

Anybody can help me? Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?

I just disabled the antivirus and it worked like a charm!

I never imagined that this would be the problem. Thank you.

Hi!

Can we now what program uses matlab to send the email, and add it then to the antivirus exclusions? Disable the antivirus is dangerous and also it's difficult to do it from matlab.

Kind regards
