it might just be typo in your post, but the port should be 465 according to the example MC provides and and you might want to check TLS/SSL required.
According to this post https://nexusfi.com/501742-post7.html you might have to enable your gmail account first, too.
Thanks, ya that was a typo. I've seen that post as well as the instructions here which use gmail as an example so I'm not sure what isnt working right.
Try the Multicharts discussion forum and FAQ-wiki etc, I recall a problem with Gmail... I receive Gmail ok but I send from another email, try sending from yahoo etc ....and receiving with Gmail...
When using Yahoo as sender email address: (you might try using email addresses other than Gmail for receiving mail, as a test)
1. Check with yahoo for the proper smtp server name.. it's different for different email hosts..
2. Port 587 is correct, for mine.
3. smtp server authentication data, IS checked.
4. Then enter yahoo email address as username.. (Including @yahoo.com)
5. Yahoo password in the password entry spot.
6. smtp server security is UNchecked on mine.
7. Then use your gmail address at the bottom for recipient...
I've used it that way for years with no problems.
If you try these settings and try NOT using gmail at all and it still doesn't work it could be something like your anti-virus program blocking it, disable anti-virus and re-try.
