Not so.  It certainly does.

How to use GMail with BLAT

1.  Download and run the stunnel installer for Windows, from
    https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html

2.  Edit file
       "C:\Program Files\stunnel\stunnel.conf"
    or, on a 64-bit Windows
       "C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\stunnel.conf"
    so it looks like this:

    cert = stunnel.pem
    debug = 7
    output = stunnel.log
    client = yes

    [pop3s]
    accept  = 995
    connect = 110

    [imaps]
    accept  = 993
    connect = 143

    [smtps]
    accept  = 127.0.0.1:259
    connect = smtp.gmail.com:465

3.  On your Start menu, visit the program group "Stunnel" and do one
    of these:
    a.  To manually start stunnel each time you plan to run BLAT:
        Click "stunnel GUI start"
    b.  To start stunnel each time you log in
        Copy "stunnel GUI Start" to your Startup Group
    c.  To install stunnel as a service,
        Click "stunnel Service Install"

4.  Install BLAT with the command line:
    blat -install 127.0.0.1 %email% 1 259 - %smtp_user% %smtp_pwd%
    where:
    %email% is your GMail email address
    %smtp_user% is your GMail SMTP username (probably same as email)
    %smtp_pwd% is your GMail SMTP password (your Google password)
