Google mail notification setup issue
I've had been getting a whole bunch of errors from my Google account about a non-secure device trying to connect and I finally traced it down to my Readynas email notifications which were using old a...

None of this is required - just trigger the [Sign in with Google], in the pop-up select the Google account (ideally already authenticated in your browser), grant the access to the "ReadyNAS Email Notification" (a follow up in the pop-up), wait some seconds - and everything is in place.

No need to enter any data like SMTP server, port, from, ... nor to use an apply button.

Thank you for the response, but still no joy. I go through the whole Google Sign in process:
1) Click log in with Google

7) I click Agree
Result attached in a screenshot.
Won't let me Apply and send a message until i complete the smtp info.
Regarding the message - "Email service to send alerts is not configured." - am i possibly missing a secondary configuration somewhere?
If i refresh, or move to a different page and come back, the settings are lost and the google buttons turns back into a 'sign in with google'
Thanks in advance.
All fields are perfectly added here - permitting I'm using a true Gmail (@gmail.com) account.
When using a Google business account on an own domain, we have to add the missing details manually.
Appears G-Suite (Google Business) e-mail accounts are not supported by using the K.I.S.S. Gmail cofig.
