Metatrader4 gmail starttls command first

 

iam trying to use the email option and keep geting this error

metatrader4 gmail starttls command first

 

As far as I see you are using gmail.

Try setting the smtp server field the following way : smtp.gmail.com:465 or smtp.gmail.com:587 but I am not sure that it will work (GMail requires SSL for SMTP, MetaTrader Mail Function does not support it).

Tested it on my gmail email account and it did not pass (with port 465 it does not throw that error, but I did not get the email either) but who knows, maybe you will have more luck (as far as I remember it was sometime last year that gmail changed something and since then some gmail accounts can not be reached that way)

If it does not work you will probably have to use some "simple" smtp email account for that purpose

 

thank you for your answer but as you said it did not work...

how can i know were to ,open an email account with "simple" smtp?

If you have an email with your internet provider, try using that one instead of gmail
