How do you configure the email alerts?
I put in my smtp.gmail.com and it had fields for email address and user name. The test failed. Any suggestions...is the user name the email address?
Is this configuration still supposed to work? I always get the "email sending failed" message. I tried both 32 and 64 bit files from OpenSSL to be sure.
Maybe it doesn't matter but, when I chose the 'secure to regular' connection I get an e-mail from google that a login attempt was blocked
Good afternoon,
In my case everything is configured as suggested, but when I press the Test button, a message appears and says the sending failed. I have tried entering my Gmail username with and without '@'
Thanks
Most likely, sending emails fails because by default Google doesn't allow plain text authentication over SMTP, even over SSL. There are three ways to make it work:
Enable less secure apps to log in to your account (not recommended); or
