Email notifications via free alternative to using Gmail?
Hi
Is there a free email service that will allow the Acronis notifcations?
Gmail requires lowered security settings to "allow less secure apps" which I dont want to do.
I'm often helping friends and colleagues setup their software. When setting the Acronis notifications I'm finding more and more services will not allow third party apps i.e Acronis to access their email servers.
Perhaps Acronis could host an email service specifically for the notifications?
Thank for any info.

Not sure if ATI 2017 has this feature, but for ATI 2018 you can set up global email configuration. The emails appear to be sent sent by Acronis server rather than ATI itself. Only minimal configuration is required - report all backup events or only report failed backup attempts.

Thanks Ian.
Thats good to know. I havent felt the need to upgrade yet since my current setup is working perfectly.
Cheers.
