gmail auth not working after trying to relogin
Read the other forum posts after getting the email from gmail. And attempted to sign out and log back in. But now I can't authenticate.
* Clicked sign out
* Clicked Singed in With Google

Stephen,
Does the form on your RN show
[Clear] and [Send Message]
or
[Sign Out] and [Send Message]
We had (granted, 6.10-RC2) a manual configuration in place before, with a manually configured advanced settings. Used the [Clear], ... run over the Gmail process for acquiring the token, not it shows [Sign Out] below, sending a [Send Message] Email works as expected. The odd part - and that's why I'm writing - is that the manual config from before wasn't cleared by [Clear] - much more it appears the information is somehow retained in the background. In my opinion, the from should not remain filled and filed.

Everything was manually configured back in 2016 (and I just use the gmail account password, enabling less trusted apps my google settings).
I think we've gotten a bit off topic. If the recommendation is to manually setup the gmail auth I can do that but it still seems like the token auth isn't working correctly.

Perfect on the topic - do we face here a 6.9.6 or 6.10-RC2 RN314? Here on a similar aged (same x86 firmware build) 6.10-RC2 RN516 an ad-hoc conversion from the (many year long nicely working manual Gmail SMTP config) to the Gmail token (for a "normal" @gmail.com account worked like a charm.
Asked StephenB to figure out if he still has a manual config or a token auth in place.
Use submission port 465/TCP or 587/TCP, tick TLS, and don't forget that depending on your Gmail account security settings might require an App Password (in case you have the highly suggested two factor auth enabled).I'm running OS 6.9.5, nas reported its running the latest version.
I had been using the gmail token authentication but got an email that google was changing something and that it would stop working. This forum post suggested redoing the authentication should fix it. https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/Email-alert-Not-going-to-work-with-GMAIL-effective-3-31-2019/m-p/1724920#M35831
Not sure why its not working now though.
