how do you get the email alerts working?
-
Have a look at http://dslstats.me.uk/alerts.html
This hasn't quite caught up with the latest changes, but it should cover what you need.

hmm ... Ive set it up as advised with outlook's smtp settings and nothing happens when I use test?
any ideas?

You could check with your email provider to see if there are other options for the choice of port number. There was a long discussion about this several months ago, which resulted in the present arrangement. Some combinations of port and encryption type are disallowed, and DSLstats greys out the disallowed options. My memory being what it is, I don't recall the details now.

Gmail accounts work fine if using the correct settings. I have 2 pi3's configured with 1 gmail account. All good for alerts.

i'll try google
i have gotten an error message when logging into my PC from sleep

any ideas?

Sorry, but I've never got to grips with what happens when the PC goes to sleep. That message comes from Windows, and the data corruption warning is just a standard part of the error message. It's extremely unlikely that any data will actually be affected, and pressing OK will quite possibly allow DSLstats to carry on working normally.
-
ok np...
another issue lol...
i tried GMAIL and didnt work, google says its blocked DSLstats as its using unsecure methods or something like that?
heres a screenshot:

Hi
That message is telling you you are using standard non encrypted email
Try changing port used to 465 or 587, using SSL/TLS or google correct TLS port to use for gmail
Sorry we do not use gmail
Many thanks

You need to login to google and change the security settings so less secure apps can obtain permission to use services etc.
"account, security, scroll down to the bottom and turn off less secure app access", should cure it
Once done my pi3's are set to
smtp.gmail.com
465
SSL

You shouldn't need to do the above. For GMail, use port 587 with StartTLS. This works fine in DSLstats (I just checked again).
-
......here is a screenshot of my settings:
Ive tried 587, TLS and SSL - theres nothing in the JUNK either

Hi
Your credentials look wrong
email from needs to be a full email address. Should match your gmail email address as that is the sending email
Also, as roseway confirmed, you need port 587 with StartTLS
First I would send to your gmail address and if works, then try your live email address, or set dslstats to send using outlook account
Many thanks

got it working with outlook
smtp-mail.outlook.com
port 587/TLS
gmail would not work
Iam using DSL-stats 6.5, is it worth upgrading to the ALPHA/BETA versions..?

I wouldn't advise doing this and it's absolutely unnecessary for DslStats.
It used to be needed but since Eric added StartTLS I've disabled this insecure setting on gmail and DslStats works perfect.
I'd recommend setting a 3rd party password for DslStats (through Google) before lowering security across the board if you cannot get it to work.

i got it working on outlook so its fine
thanks for all the help
