I think when OP said modem they meant Panoramic gateway, which DOES have a firewall and NAT. I haven't heard of either interfering with email clients, but you never know. If they wanted to rule all that out and put the gateway in "water hose" mode, they could enable bridge mode. That's assuming the PC having issues can connect via ethernet. I think other things like you suggested should be checked first.
They said their GMAIL was working, and it uses the same ports. If a mail client is working with one mail service, then there may be something different in the configuration of the other, hence I suggested verifying the ports?
