Remote Upload
Am I going wrong?, I can use the remote email to upload pictures and they appear, when I try the FTP upload, i can see then in the upload folder but they do not transfer to my Readynas Album.

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.
Can you try using a public email account like Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail/etc and see if that works for you? If you don't mind, may I know who is your email provider?
Thanks
