Hi ... long time no see ... we have fiber... so I've updated the controller app and tried to turn on email notifications following:
https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/2919/
I used a google account and sent myself a test email but all I got was the red cross and: "Failed to send email to the specified recipient"
I tried it a number of times... :(
Tweaked my google account settings for imap... changed my omada controller password so it's the same as the email account password... opened my gmail account on the pc that is running the omada sdn controller app and ... nothing.
Not sure what to try next is there something else I need to do?
Thanks

I have done a bit of digging... from some guy on stack overflow:
You are probably attempting to use Gmail's servers on port 25 to deliver mail to a third party over an unauthenticated connection. Gmail doesn't let you do this, because then anybody could use Gmail's servers to send mail to anybody else. This is called an open relay and was a common enabler of spam in the early days. Open relays are no longer acceptable on the Internet.
You will need to ask your SMTP client to connect to Gmail using an authenticated connection, probably on port 587
Which may explain why @PavelV has got his working he has alternative authentication and perhaps a workspace account (not a simple user account like me)
When I try to use port 587 it just hangs...
Perhaps the reason mine won't work because Omada Controller needs to issue a STARTTLS command first?

Dear @Bebe1980,

Sure, I am running Omada Controller 4.4.3 as a service on Windows 10 pro using the NSSM
EAP 110 V (US) V3.0 5.0.1 Outdoor Version.
I'm using the Controller software because we want to use the voucher authentication for the hotspot.
There's no error message just says it failed to send the email...
I assume that the issue is related to the Java version. Please export the running log under Services -> Export Data -> Running log from the controller page, then verify if there is a log saying "Send mail exception Could not connect to SMTP host".
If there is, try the available solution provided in this post.

Thanks... I made the changes to enable TLS ... and used the following:
And voila:

If you find you are getting double emails (as I did because I use the same email address as Admin) disable or miss out step 3) Enable Alert Emails in Admin Settings.
