I'm trying to get email notifications for the ReadyNAS setup and I've scoured the Netgear site and the internet the past few days looking for documentation that actually works, but to no avail. Using these devices for over 20 of our remote offices and I can't get these email notifications to work at all, whether it's to our internal email servers, or to a brand new Gmail account with "less secure devices" enabled. RN10200 running 6.4.1 What's the secret, what's the trick - I'm pulling my hair out here

RN10200 running 6.4.1 What's the secret, what's the trick - I'm pulling my hair out here With gmail, you need to turn off two-factor authentication as well as enable "less secure devices". The smtp is smtp.gmail.com, the port is 587, and check "use TLS". Set the "from" address to the google email account (x@gmail.com). It might take a little while for google to propagate the account settings on their end.

Yep, those are the exact values I've been using and they haven't worked. Toggled off TLS, and tried port 465 as well. No luck Two factor authentication is disabled by default and the less secure devices is as well and I've only enabled the latter

If you just enabled "less secure apps" you might need to wait a while for google to propagate it to all their servers.

I enabled "less secure devices" about 3 days ago, and I assume the expected "propagation" timeframe is similar to DNS record changes which would be around 48 hours.

I agree it should have happened by now. Not sure if this matters or no - in my case I am sending the email to the same gmail account. Might be worth seeing if it works if you do that.
