Can someone please provide the correct email notification settings for YAHOO? I can't get it to work; I tries OPTONLINE and was able to get it working, however I prefer to use YAHOO (or even GMAIL if you have those settings).
Thanks, Rich

For GMail, I have:

SMTP Server Address:     smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Server Port:          587
Use SSL-TLS/STARTTLS: STARTTLS

Thanks for the GMAIL info...any assistance with YAHOO would be appreciated...I find Yahoo MUCH easier to use than GMAIL.

I just got mine going for yahoo email the settings are
SMTP Server Address: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
SMTP Server Port: 465
now you have to type your yahoo email account password in the line where it says password
Use SSL-TLS/STARTTLS: ( ) No (X) SSL-TLS  ( )STARTTLS

Thanks daoatt, worked perfectly!!!!

Hi, I am really sorry.  I am having a little trouble setting up my DCS 930L email.  This is what i put in my screen.  I am trying to use a yahoo email address.  Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.  Thanks

SMTP Server address:    smtp.mail.yahoo.com
SMTP Server Port:         465
Sender E-mail adress:    a email adress that I really don't use@gmail.com  (I did put @gmail.com at the end)
Receiver email address:  the email address that I want images sent to@yahoo.com (I put @yahoo.com at the end too)
User Name:                  Domain_name  (this is the same name as receiver email without putting @yahoo.com at the end
Password:                     the email addresses password
I then clicked the box SSL-TLS

I thought I was doing this right, but I'm sure there's something wrong here.

hijeff1: I believe the SMTP Server address should be gmail not yahoo (the sender's email server). Use the gmail settings posted above with your gmail email as sender and yahoo email as the receiver.

I am incredibly frustrated.  I have tried almost every combo noted in the forums to no success.  I want to use yahoo to receive notification e-mails.  I usually get a host of errors but what is really bad is sometimes I get "Test Succeeded" but I get no e-mail in my yahoo account.

Thinking getting a new brand of cam...sheesh...any ideas?

Here is my set up:

SMTP Server Address: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
SMTP Server Port: 465
Sender E-mail Address:  Myhandle@yahoo.com
Receiver E-mail Address: Myhandle@yahoo.com
User name: Myhandle
Password: XXXXXXXXXXXX

Please help...thanks in advance

What camera model do you own and what firmware version is installed?

[Jake2112]

It's the DSC-932L.  Firmware is 1.06b4.  The cam is located in a remote vacation house so updating to version 1.09_b1 is a real effort.  It that a limiting factor?

And thank you for your time.

[JavaLawyer]

Possibly. If you look at the the DCS-932L - Cumulative Firmware Release Notes you'll see there was at least one bug fix related to email notifications. You may able to remotely update the firmware via mydlink.

I needed help as well I was just told to use smtp.mail.yahoo.com and port 465 for yahoo.

[FurryNutz]

And does it work with this configuration?
