MT4 e mail function

I can’t seem to get the e mail function to properly test.
I use gmail so I think the SMTP address is …smtp.gmail.com.

I’m pretty sure I have filled out the form correctly but all I get is:

2010.07.25 14:34:24 Mail: error connecting to smtp.gmail.com

Can anyone help me or direct me to a forum that is more suited to this kind of query?

Thanks

I tryed to do this myself with metatrader a while ago now, but the problem with metatrader is it doesnt know how to deal with SSL, pretty sure it was that, but it is protocol related.

There are several good threads here - just search for SMTP. I’m not going to repeat what has already been posted, but gmail does not work with MT4. A better forum because there are more knowledgeable posters is on mql4.com. Again do a search for SMTP

I got mine working by talking to my ISP. Some ISPs will block requests unless they go through a certain email address verified by them. In my case I had to set up an email address with my ISP and use that to send outgoing mail.

Took a while but talk to your service provider and they’ll help you out.

I couldn’t get this to work with Gmail, it is a common problem. I use gmx.com to send alerts to my Gmail or text to my phone. Search “my phone’s email address” to get the email to text your phone.

It doesn’t work with Gmail. Use gmx.com/ and get it to forward to your gmail.

Easy :slight_smile:
