Email notification issues
20 Jan 2016, 13:49
Hi all,
I included email notification function in my bot following instructions found here http://help.spotware.com/calgo/cbots/email-notifications . Unfortunatelly, whenever the algo tries to send a message the following error occurs:
Failed to send email "Email Title". Timeout.
Any tip on what might cause this? I need to point out that I have enabled IMAP POP at dedicated Gmail account. I also allowed access for "less safe" applications.

Please find the following code snippet.
private void alertOversold(MarketSeries mSeries, int counter)
{
if (counter == 1)
{
var text = string.Format("Oscillator has crossed below in oversold zone at {0} timeframe", mSeries.ToString());
Notifications.SendEmail("myemailaddress@gmail.com", "myemailaddress@gmail.com", "Title", text);
}
}

Thanks for help everyone!
It turns out gmail didn't save the "Allow less secure apps" setting the first time round. Everythig works as it should now.

Hi pozhy,
In principle it is unless it is blocked. Paul Hayes has written a nice article about this.
Best Regards,

Could you provide your method where you use SendEmail?
Make sure you use correct settings before trying to send an email notification. You can do that in Preferences -> Email Settings.
Example how to use it correctly:
