Trying to understand Email Notifications (with Screen shot)

[d2mini]

So I'm trying to set up emails for alarms. A quick google search I did for ATT Uverse returned results that showed 465 as the port to use. Does everything else look like it's set up correctly? When i hit the test button, it glows blue for a minute or so and then stops. It also grabs the current smtp info at this time. Nothing else happens. What should happen here?

Also, can the notifications be specific? In other words, if it's a level alarm can it tell me that specifically? Or do i just get notified that there is an alarm and then i have to access the profilux remotely to figure out what's going on?

Thanks!

Your setting looks correct in general. However, port 465 is a port which normally is used for SSL encrypted mail transfer. The PL3 doesn´t support that. So you have to switch off SSL encryption or use another mail provider.

Oh ok. What about gmail? Does anyone know which port for that one?

What about gmail?

Unfortunately gmail also doesn´t work ....

Lol great. Does ANY common USA email service work with this thing?

I setup a Yahoo account for my Profilux.

Thank you.
The weird thing is that ATT uses Yahoo for their mail service. I gather regular yahoo mail is different?
And if the Profilux doesn't support SSL, why is there the check box for mailserver authentification?

Cause authentification is different to encryption (which SSL means)

Got it. Thank you.
