Digitalis, please can you tell me: So this script will enable email function of alerts in indicators? If so, does it have to be reloaded at every start-up and should the inbuilt email section in /Otions be Unchecked?
with thanks in advance if you can answer

Reading through the thread, the simplest option for me seemed to be the dll and script provided by CodersGuru in post #21 - the main attraction for me being no other software to install and worry about configuring.

Took me about 4 minutes to download, copy, configure and test. It works perfectly. With such a simple solution I have no idea why you'd worry about using proxies, mail servers or whatever. But I guess if we all preferred the same approach it would be...

so if not, this code should be added to code of existing indicator?

thanks, i'm keen to find an email solution since the inbuilt function does not seem to work on my XP (it is a bare-bones system so maybe be missing some Windows components for this)

Dear Mr CodersGuru, yes it works perfectly thank you, but can I use this to email me an alert? I don't mind if mt4 has to stay running.

You can not use it without MT4.
Why do you want email alert if MT4 is not running?

Dear Mr CodersGuru,
I am just after something that will enable mt4 to send me an email when an indicator gives an alert; where the said indicator has email alert option true.

Just to replace the inbuilt email function that does not function on my setup. (XP) Sorry ignore comment about whether mt4 is running or not.

Hi Zen

Thank you for the work and explanation on how to set up a gmail address in MT4. I am very happy to have found this thread and your instruction.

I downloaded your clear instructions and was very relieved to see how clearly you wrote them!

However, after setting up and hitting the "Test" button, I received the following error message in the journal:

"2011.09.28 21:39:27Mail: 530 SMTP authentication is required."

and the test email did not reach my gmail account.

I also noticed an error message in he "Status" window of hMailServer Administrator, it reads:

"W001 - High - You haven't specified the public host name for this computer in the SMTP settings."

Any idea what prevents the test email going through?

Hi, I have followed the instructions and it has worked beautifully till this morning when I encountered the following error message,

"Mail : error connecting to localhost:25"

I checked through the settings and even went to reinstall the relay but the error still remains.

Did anybody encountered the following issue before and has a solution ?

Thank you.

Same problem here. The last email alerts I got were on November 1st, Tuesday. Everything has worked fine up till then. I too have reinstalled hMailServer, still does not work. Re-installing over the top of MT4 did not fix it either. The recent MT4 update may have something to do with this but I installed the update on the weekend and email was working on Monday. I'll try a clean install of MT4 tomorrow.

No wonder I'm getting no signals!

I did a clean install today after exhausting everything and it works now !
I'm now back to build 402 and keeping away from build 409 for the time being.

Hope that helps.

Hi Guys,

I am getting the same "Mail: error connecting to localhost:25"
message as you.
Could you write it how exactly you had cleaninstalled the system
before it worked again?
Thank you.

I would welcome if someone could give a reason why this error happened.

Sorry, I meant to!

I have checked these updates and I don't have either of them installed (however they are on the optional list) so I don't think they are the problem.
