MT 4 Send message function disabled by Windows defender on Windows 10

 

I am running a MT/EA to send message through gmail SMTP server. This function had work fine for long time. Recently I switched to Windows 10 and used Windows defender as the anti-virus protection.But the EA send message function does not work. Does anyone have any ideas how to let MT send message through Windows firewall or defender?

Thanks 

 

Is your network set as Private, or is it Public or Guest?

Has anyone had a problem allowing metatrader 4 through the windows firewall?  It is my hope it will fix my slowing down and freezing problems.  I have had to uninstall and reinstall MT4  repeatedly over the years.  The 'fix' usually lasts about two months, then I have to repeat.  It is very inconvenient. 

My MT4 gets really really slow then freezes up.  The problem gets much worse when I add more indicators, even though I use much fewer than many traders I see.

Microsoft has told me it is because MT4 is not allowed in the US.  Confusing as I have been using it for years.
