Setting up Email alerts (RN10200)
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. U...
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.
Update - So, as I mentioned - I have 20+ ReadyNAS RN10200 devices in the field and I've noticed something odd. Updated all firmware on these devices to 6.4.2 and yet there is a difference in the GUI between some devices(note the attached screenshots)
In this first image, this is the only device(6.4.2) out of 20+ where the layout of the ALERTS page differs from the others, and yet I can successfully setup & receive notifications only on this one.
On this second image, with all the other 20+ devices I have, all on 6.4.2 - the ALERTS page layout looks like this and I'm unable to get any email alerts to function. All the information is identical to the first device. In this image, the green check apparently signifies the alerts are setup properly, but an error is still generated when tested and no email is sent, nor received.
The devices appear to be operating normally in terms of basic data storage and running the scheduled tasks I have setup, but this is definitely quirky and a pain in the ass. Ultimately, leaves me with a bad impression having put hours into already just trying to get basic functions like alerts to work properly.
