Hi All,
Read various posts on here and online about setting up email notifications on the ES8266 NodeMCU with ESP Easy mega-20211224.
Just looking to setup email notifications either via Gmail or GMX.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Re: Email Notifications
Gmail only supports encrypted connections, so unless you setup a relay on some other host, you cannot use it directly from ESPEasy as we don't (yet) support TLS.
Re: Email Notifications
Any steps on how I do that?
Re: Email Notifications
Depends on what system you're using.
For example a Linux host (e.g. Raspberry Pi), or some external service like smtp2go (that one was mentioned in a few issues lately, so not sure if that's still working without TLS)
For raspberry pi (when searching for "mail relay raspberry pi") I found this one: https://raspberrytips.com/mail-server-raspberry-pi/
No idea how well it does work, but it was one of the first hits in Google.

Re: Email Notifications
After my ISP host turned off non-secure email last year I found myself in the same situation. I considered using one of my RPI's as a mail server, but for simplicity I ended up using a free account on smtp2go.com. It forwards notifications to my preferred email address.
Works well, now all my ESPEasy devices can phone home.

Re: Email Notifications
I had looked at smtp2go earlier though wasn’t sure how I’d configure it.
Would you mind sharing how you achieved that?
Thanks

Re: Email Notifications
That’s mega helpful thank you.
Did you have to do much config on smtp2go?

Re: Email Notifications
Nothing unusual at smtp2go; just create your free account.
