Discussion of article "MetaTrader 5: Publishing trading forecasts and live trading statements via e-mail on blogs, social networks and dedicated websites"
investeo,
how did you get gmail to work? since they required authentication, so port 25 won't work? Is there trick to do that, or I'm just missing something?
Hello,
I am very interested in sending forecasts by email.
I have followed the configuration guide published in step 1 "Configuring Metatrader 5 for Email".
Thus I have created a gmail account.
I have tested the access to this account with "Windows Live Mail" client => it works.
When I try to access the same account using Metatrader 5 (Version 5.00 Build 496) I receive the following error message "Failed send data, server error code 530".
Thanks in advance for your help.

In addition to my previous post when I configured my Gmail account in Windows Live Mail client, I modified the default port value (25) of smtp.gmail.com server with value 465.
What is the default value used in Metatrader 5 client (25) ? Is it possible to modify this value ?
Thanks
I modified the configuration of the field "SMTP server" with the value smtp.gmail.com:465 => it works perfectly now.

This article helps, thank you!
and if the results of a repeated test, if there's no result, what could be the reasons?

They say it requires a secure connection and a different port: http://joomlaforum.ru/index.php/topic,54479.0.html
