DislikedThanks for the info above Kihl.
I tried Bluebottle.com and the SMTP server info on all 3 of my websites and still cannot get it to connect.
Any ideas?
Thanks...MGIgnored
DislikedMT4 only uses SMTP, so there shouldn't be a way for an EA to use a POP account. As for SMTP not working for you, bluebottle not working is weird. It may have something to do with your actual ISP. Before calling them, get out of MT4 and try setting the email up in outlook or your preferred email client. Test it to see if SMTP traffic is getting through bey sending an email to itself.
If the email client does not work, it is not an MT4 issue but something on your ISP side most likely. If the email works on your client, try completely uninstalling MT4 and reinstalling it. Then try using metatrader to send a regular alert to yourself with the alerts tab in the bottom.
Here is a thread on configuring it correctly and sending alerts.
If the regular alert works. It is a problem in your EA coding.
Trying all of this should atleast narrow down where the problem is.Ignored
DislikedContrary to popular belief and many of the postings on this site, you can send email alerts from MT4 to Gmail accounts. There is no need to put a port number, just your SMTP. In this case, I have given you my SMTP as an example. No login required, just the Gmail account you're sending to. See the picture for specifics.
