Default Re: SMTP problems sending e-mail notification

Hi Robert,

I believe your issue was already addressed by our help desk... For others HAL users trying to send email via gmail below details how you must go about configuring gmail and HAL.

First you will need to change your gmail account to “Allow access to less secure apps”.

www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

From the System Settings, Internet, Email configuration screen:
Incoming mail (POP3): pop.gmail.com
Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com
Advanced: Incoming Port: 995
Advanced: Requires encrypted connection: checked
Advanced: Outgoing Port: 465
Advanced: Encryption type: SSL
My Server requires authentication: checked
Settings: Use the same settings as my incoming server: checked

finally you will need to make sure that the ports 995 and 465 are not blocked by any firewall software.

Regards,

Tim
