email alert problem

[Ainsley]

Hello all,

I have written my efs program and all is working well except for the email alert.

Alert.email( "Short crossover alert", "Short trigger alert" );

I am using windows 7 with outlook 2007

I have used the below statement in the code as well as setting up the smtp mail service in view - alerts - settings

but nothings

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

email alert

I guess the email alert wont work based on the mail services requiring authentication

I have tested the efs code in the version 11-2a, the configurator has the placeholder for the user name and password which tests ok however the efs code still did not work.

This seems to be due to the password not being saved by the eSignal program

I guess v11-2a is an early release so hopefully it gets fixed up for the next release

I had this working for awhile and then it stopped working, the fix is, if one is using gmail that is;

Enter,

1. Gmail
2. manage your google account
3. security
4. App Passwords
5. Select from the Select App - dropdown list, Other
6. Create eSignal
7. Copy the code / password
8. From eSignal, goto Application Properties
9. Mail
10. Enter your email details
11. SMTP server = smtp.gmail.com
12. Port = 587
13. Encryption = TLS
14. check tick box for Use Authentication
15. User name is your email address
16. password is the code generated from step 7
17. Paste the code and that should be it

This works a treat for alerts on my Samsung Watch, which notifies me of interesting developments, nice!!, its like having an employee watching the market for your favorite condition and then calling you when it starts developing, real nice feature.
