Hi all,

I have an sv3c 720p camera which has been great for the past 3 years. Along other settings, it was also setup for email alerts and this worked great so far. The past 4 days, I got no emails. I went to the settings and the test email function fails: "Can't connect to SMTP server".
I didn't change anything, why it worked before and not now? I was using Gmail SSL 465 port.
The last 3 days I also tried TLS, starttls (and their proper ports/settings) and also Yahoo and Outlook.com. The usual settings to allow non secure apps etc are enabled. I also tried all email with 2 step verification and with a new app password. Also rebooted the camera several times.
Nothing worked!
To mitigate the problem of no alerts I've setup an ftp server and video recording which both work fine (so motion alert also works fine) but I would much prefer to restore email functionality.
Please help!
