Hello,
I am trying YawCam on a win 7 machine.
Http is working fine
Motion is working too: sound is played and listed in the event log
email is shown in the event log but are never delivered
My setting is as follows
to: my gmail account
from: a 2nd gmail account of mine (which i don't mind too much if hacked)
smtp server smtp.gmail.com:465
username my user name for that 2nd account
use ssl ticked
password required ticked
password: user and password: that of the 2nd account
no flood control, no arrays
also tried aspmx.l.google.com:25 no auth but did not work either
Someone could please help?
Thanks in advance

Re: fail to send email
In my case I had to set gmail to "allow access from less secure apps". Yawcam isnt as secure as gmail prefers. So it disables access. Here is a link: https://support.google.com/accounts/ans ... 0255?hl=en

I'm having the same issue. The console shows Mail: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465
Re: fail to send email
You need to create an apppassword and use it as the password instead of your normal password.
Go to https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords and create a password for your gmail account. It is less secure but is used for printers, older phones, etc.. that can't use 2 stage vertification.
Settings:
SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465, SSL: Yes
Username: Your gmail.
Password: The 16 character password generated by google.

Re: fail to send email
Hi!
Mine worked perfectly using SSL on the 465 port and with allowing posting from unsafe apps in the Gmail settings until the beginning of 2018 (for a few years). But now it looks like google has changed its policy again and it will not allow sending emails from Yawcam.
It also says that APPPASSWORD is not available for my Gmail account.
Anyone else experienced something like this?

Note that you also have to put a valid email address in the 'From' field (where it defaults to just 'YAWCAM'.
