APEX email setup...Help!

[chevy4w]

As it says in the setup manual this part(setting up email)will be the hardest. Yup...I agree 100%.(my impatience isn't helping)
Anyone know the settings for a Yahoo email setup? Have APEX Lite.

Email enable....enable or disable...?
SMTP server....?
SMTP port....?
From address...?
To address...?
Alt. to: address...?
Re-email delay(minutes) (ok with this one)
Email authentication...enable or disable...?
User name...(ok with this one)
User password...(ok with this one)
Email test...I assume this is checked off after you have all setting in place to see if you got it right.

Any help will be appreciated.

You cannot use Yahoo to send emails out from Apex. They don't allow you to send emails unless you are on they're website. Do you have an email account with your Internet Service Provider? Who is your provider?

tagging, I dont think ATT is being friendly either. IF FUSION was already live hopefully this would all be completely avoided.

There would be so many less of these threads if Apex supported secure email authentication... Then you just use gmail and be done!

ATT seems to require secure authentication from what I'm reading on their site, so it won't work either.

We are all waiting for the apex in the cloud update and no more of this. I was using the gmx servers to send my notifications until they blocked us. There is a couple work arounds on their site, and I am back up and running with a new free service.

If you have Comcast as an Internet provider, you can have the email forwarded to your yahoo email account. Also, on the alternate email address line of the Apex controller, you can set it to send you a txt message alert. The syntax for Verizon txt is
Phonenumber@vtext.com

Ah, yes. Port forwarding. Not too difficult. I downloaded and printed the "big" book which really helps allot. Look up unofficial programing guide. For now, here's this

What have you configured so far to get the device to be accessible from outside?

Also, do not underestimate their support- second to none. Paul will work some magic on your system remotely for you. GL

The advanced guide is written by the same person as the unofficial guide now, so check that out:

on another thread someone posted good success using SMTP2GO service. I have not tried to sign up for it though. I think its limited to 25 emails per day in the free offering.
