Photos II does not use any email settings from Frontview, so you can treat Photos II as an independent app. To upload photos via email. Please check the following:
1. A valid email is used in your Photos II account. (You can check at Settings > Manage Photographers > Edit the Primary account. For example: photos@gmail.com is used as your primary email.
2. Remote Upload is setup correctly. If setup correctly, you should get a Target email, for example: nas-1234@photos.readynas.com
3. In your email client, make sure you login to your email account that is used to setup your Photos II account. In this example, it is photos@gmail.com. When you login to your photos@gmail.com, compose a new email and use "nas-1234@photos.readynas.com" in To field, leave Subject blank, attach your photos in this email, then click Send.
Everything appears to be configured correctly: I have a valid email address, the remote upload tab in the Preferences shows a valid "nas-1234@photos.readynas.com" address, and I use the correct addressing in the "To" and "From" fields when sending out emails for uploading.
The only thing that I can think of is that the email address I used to set up RNPII is actually a sub-account of my primary email. My email provider does not require separate log-ins for each sub-account under the primary account; when I "log in" I actually use the primary account user name and password but can send out email under any of the sub account emails. Nevertheless, even though I didn't really think that that was the issue, I did change the RNPII email address to my primary email account name just to rule it out; but that didn't work either.
