Hello woto,

Can you send a screenshot of what you entered in the email alert settings such as SMTP server and port? Just cover your email address.

Hi

Thanks for the reply, here are a couple of screen shots of what i am entering for the email set up and the other is the error i get when trying to do a test email. i am running firmware 6.6.1
i have tried the differant ports on the dropdown box, also tried 4 differant mail providers with the same result.

  Hello woto,
  
  Please try port 587. Also configure Allow less secure apps. Standard gmail account should have this, just go to My Account.

    Hi JennC
    
    I gave it a try what you have suggested, i was thinking this could be it, as not done this before, but unfortuanatly as you can see from the screenshots its still coming up with the error.
    Thanks for them screen shots as i now know where that button is for less secure apps is, but it was already turned on.
    
    Hope you can point me in another direction
