Re: Microsoft Basic Authentication

I have email alerts working again but not with Outlook. I read the BI help files for email servers which use Gmail as an example on how to set one up. I then found this video on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y78sb25pc8 I created a new Gmail email account, couldn't remember the one I set ...

Re: Microsoft Basic Authentication

Well that didn't work, what a surprise!

Turned on 2-step verification with one of my Outlook accounts and generated a 16 digit passcode. Entered this into the password section on the Edit Email Server page and it connected but still the same error code.

Re: Microsoft Basic Authentication

Just found this about Gmail, I assume Outlook is now the same. "Gmail stopped allowing the account password for SMTP authentication, and now requires an App Password. So, you will need to enable 2-step verification in the remote account, then get an App Password from the account settings."...

Re: Microsoft Basic Authentication

That was my next thought, which free email accounts are there which are still work with the current version of BI. If I remember I did set one up with Gmail when Outlook included OneDrive and changed their attachment limits. OneDrive within Outlook you cannot disable or remove from your PC. However ...

Re: Microsoft Basic Authentication

Same problem, I didn't know about Microsoft changing their SMTP authorisation process this month. The change was allegedly on the 16th. I've spent most of the day reading the mainly useless Microsoft help pages and gave up. Gave in and contacted their online help, which routed me to a help desk in C...

Re: Mutiple Problems

Thanks again.

Problem one sorted, wrong smtp port.

Problem two just happened again, Blue Iris froze while I was making changes after changing the smtp and it lost its registration again so back to square one. If its a permissions problem where do I go from here as I'm completely out my my depth.

Re: Mutiple Problems

Thanks for the response.

I did try to import them from within Blue Iris using the "Import Settings" command on the "About" page, that's when I got the errors message.

Mutiple Problems

Today I've had quite a few problems with Version 4 which I've had for 5 years. No1. Tried to add a second email address to emails alerts for all four of my cameras. First three worked ok then with the forth Outlook decided I was using my email account for possible spam. Locked that one then the seco...
