Planning For Google Discontinuation Of Less Secure Apps Access

Hi System Traders,

For those who use Gmail SMTP to send email alerts for their EAs' notifications, what are your plans after 30th May 2022 when Google plans to stop 'Less Secure Apps Access' of Gmail. MT4 email sending depends on this currently.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

This is part of the email:

Time to bin Google forever. There must be plenty of alternatives. Don't let Goole ru(i)n your life lol. They've becoming more intrusive lately.

I was thinking the same. Let me check on yahoo mail and gmx.

If you get something that worked, please let me know. I tried just sending an email alert to my gmail but it can't connect. I did see that in May they will discontinue though.

If you use Xfinity / Comcast for your internet, the account includes one or more email accounts that you can set up a password for.
Then the MT4 -> Tools -> Options -> Email -> SMTP server is filled in with "smtp.comcast.net:587"

Perhaps other internet providers have something similar.

While on the topic of MT4 sending out an email, the "To:" field only supports one address. I haven't tried this, but ran across some code that may be of interest, even for just sending out emails in general, not necessarily solving only the multiple address issue:

For now, I only use one "To:" address, which happens to be the address that sends an SMS text message to my cellphone. It's one way to get notified fairly promptly, usually in under a minute, sometimes longer. Depends on the cellphone provider, MT4, and whatever else. If you don't know what that email address would be for your cellphone, search Google for "(your carrier name) sms email" to get clues. YMMV.

Just got another notification today.

Does anyone have an alternative site that provides STMP?

same here. It stopped working. Any ideas are welcome.
