i entered my smtp settings correctly

 

gmail with TLS

sending email: [email protected]

email recipient: [email protected]

Priority in Header: yes

Email subject: unraid status

mail server: smtp.gmail.com

mail server port: 587

User SSL/TLS: Yes

Define TLS Cert: No

TLS Cert: blank

Auth Method: Login

username: [email protected]

password: mypassword

 

but when i test it, it says authorization failed, i'm 100% sure my login and paswoord is right

 

how come it fails then?

Or setup a dedicated gmail address for this purpose, then turning on less secure apps is less of an issue.

With the added benefit of knowing for sure that the email is specific to your server only.

 

It's not like google charges for the accounts, and you really never need to login to check for messages, just use it as a sending account.

I decided on using machine-specific gmail accounts, and that works very well. I have a strong aversion for handing out account credentials to plugins/applications/appliances.

For good reason, and it's why google insists on making you acknowledge that what you are doing is not ideal by forcing the non-secure applications toggle.

 

Since length of the email address really isn't an issue for these types of accounts, you can get very creative, like "[email protected]"
