I'm getting runtime error 80040204H (An SMTP or winsock error occured) when using the SMTPClient object with the Gmail SSL SMTPServer

The Gmail SSL SMTP server breaks RFC 2821 Sect. 3.9 by not sending a positive response code after the SMTPClient sends a QUIT command. The library behaves as it should in this circumstance according to the standard. In the specific case where you see this error when calling .Close on a Gmail SSL SMTP server your application should catch and ignore the error.
