Alert Email Set without error but none received
Sorry if this was already asked and answered someone where. I tried searching the forums but not sure the search function is working. I posted a separate query about that here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-to-ReadyNAS/Does-quot-Search-in-Community-quot-Work-everything-is-quot-No/m-p/1333109#M14742
Regarding the current inquiry. I set up Alert emails and hit the send test email button. After a few seconds I got a message that the test email was successfully sent, but I never received it. Yes, I double checked that the alert contact had the correct spelling for the email. I also checked the junk mail folder. It was tested about 2 hours ago... I assume I should have gotten the alert by now.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

P.S. I am using version 6.7.5 of the software
What email provider are you using?
My email provider is hosted by Hardhat Hosting and is linked to my business domain ie mail.plasticworksusa.com. The alert was being sent to hotmail.com. When I first tried it, I had the wrong password, so I was getting errors. When I finally found the correct password for the account (dang... so many passwords these days!), it went through without an error.
