I am trying to set up security event email notifications but I can't figure out how to do it. Can I use my exchange account or do I need to use a POP3 gmail account?
I agree the email setup can be a challenge. I also have Exchange email. It occured to me that it would be convenient for the notices to come "from" a recognizable email account, so I set up a free Gmail account named "myname.orbi@gmail.com". Then, the fields for email are:
Primary Address: <my Exchange email address where I want the mail to go>
SMTP: smtp.gmail.com
Outgoing port 465
Requires auth check
User name <my new gmail account>
Password <password of new gmail account>
I am sure it is possible to make this all work with the single Exchange account, where messages come from me to me. But, I took the easy way out and just "got it done".
