hi all,

i cant be the only one. this week the mail feature in mt4 stopped working across all my platforms.

it worked flawlessly till last weekend, i have not changed a thing. i presume metaquotes did something without testing.

the error i get now is,

Mail: 530 5.7.1 Authentication required

has anybody found a solution by chance ?

green pips to all,

greets

reiner

What is your email provider? Perhaps they changed their requirements for security. The error is due to SSL being required, which M mail does not support.

Gmail has never worked. Yahoo only worked if had the premium paid version.

My email is with my ISP, so it is no use to you. You should check the boards at MQL4 .COM to find out the latest.

same problem, same time, (but we already met on donnaforex forum, lol) - it is the SSL I think but what is wrong?

I can't get to the same smtp options in Windows 8 that I could in XP, so I give up on it.

the problem seems to be the free email providers like yahoo.

i signed up with smtp2go.com, now works like a charm. free 20 mails a day so good enough for me.

I used the method to set up gmail account in this thread and it has been working. Gmail can not be used directly.
