Email configuration not working on Readynas nv+ v2

Do you use a static IP address in the NAS?
If so, it might not be configured correctly (no DNS server being a common omission).
I use the same settings successfully on 4.1, 4.2, and OS 6 ReadyNAS.
It's probably an issue with the google account settings. You need to turn off 2-step verification and turn allow less secure apps on.
Hi again, thanks for the quick response.
I have these settings the same. No 2 step, and yes to allow less secure apps.
It is also strange that my thunderbird has no problem working with the smtp settings.
Do I need to add a specific user with the gmail email address as well to readynas users?
I just cant same to find the solution. Been trying for a long time to get it to work. :-)
The only difference I can see between our settings is that I've removed the "gmail.com" in "user" (e.g., using username there instead of username@gmail.com).
no luck.
I tried this and also other combinations, including using another account (yahoo). However same error pops up.
Any other ideas on how to solve this problem? Is there an option to escalate this to netgear without having to pay for it?
Thanks
