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.

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