Hello

Here an how-to:

I use a gmail account

fw 1.0

Username: myemail@gmail.com
Password: my gmail password
Port: 587
SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
Sender Email: myemail@gmail.com
Receiver Email: myemail@gmail.com
use : STARTTLS

That work for me

Tips:
As sender Email use myemail+[label]@gmail.com for an easier filtering.
example : titifoo+nas@gmail.com

Regards,
Cedric.

Yes is know, you write your issue more than half year, but check this:

http://email.about.com/od/accessinggmail/f/Gmail_SMTP_Settings.htm

Maybe the port that you write is bad :\

This topic is pretty dead, but I am having the same problem.

So, I cannot configure it to send me a notification mail from my gmail account.
Why?

FW 1.04

Link>Welcome!

• What Hardware version is your DNS? Look at the sticker behind or under the device.
• Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the DNSs web page under status.
• What region are you located?

What Mfr and model is the main host router?
Is the DNS getting a Dynamic IP address from the main host router? I recommend using a Static IP address ON the DNS set to 192.168.#.34 or .40.

First thing, the settings for sending must be correct.

The user name/password are what is used to log in to the NAS shares from a computer on the network.

For the port and SMTP Server see https://support.google.com/a/answer/176600?hl=en  Although they mention printer etc. it is the same for the NAS.

The sender should be something to define the NAS (example: my.nas@myhome.com)

SMTP Auth - see the info in the above link.

Finally do a test send to check it is up and running.

Don't forget to save settings and also set what information you want to get from the NAS box.

The receiver is your gmail name@gmail.com

If you are sending to a legitimate Google email then:

Select "ANONYMOUS"
use Port "25"
Then use this SMTP server "aspmx.l.google.com"
Enter in the email you wish to send to in the "Sender E-Mail" box (This can be your gmail email adderss)
Enter in your Gmail address in the  "Reciever E-mail" box
Set "Secure Connection" to "NONE"

That is what I'm using and I’m getting emails from my NAS weekly

This only works if you are sending TO a google address, sending to other addresses will not work.

If you are still not getting emails check your SPAM folder as google might place them in there.
Also you might need to check if port 25 is blocked or opened on your router (most routers have a "port forwarding" or "port opening" option make sure it is set to allow port 25 from your NAS) check the routers help pages or ISP's website of you can't find the option.

My email used to work, then stopped a few months ago with no changes on my end.  Anyone else still using gmail for this?

Check with Google mail and see if there service configurations have changed. Usually this is the case if you haven't done anything to the DNS...

you will have to change the security settings on google

https://myaccount.google.com/security

Allow less secure apps: ON

and work again

This thread has been around for a long time.  I'm having the test mail failure problem despite following all of the guidance here.  I have an older DNS323 on which the email notifications work perfectly but on my DNS345, I've never been able to get a status email.  I initially duplicated the 323's info into the 345 and that didn't work.  I have created the appropriate app password on gmail, to no avail.

DNS345 firmware 1.04

User Name: mygmail@gmail.com
Password: as supplied by Google
Port: 587
SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
Sender email: test@dns345.com
Receiver email: mygmail@gmail.com
Connection: STARTTLS

Any more guidance?

Edit 1: Never mind.  I decided to alter the Port to 465 and the Connection to SSL, and it now works.  For posterity.

Glad you got it working.

Enjoy.
