Feature request: Desktop notifications
Desktop notifications via Windows Action Center or pop-ups should be offered as a simpler alternative to setting up email notifications. I'm also not willing to turn on gmail's "Access for less secure apps" so I only find out that a backup has failed if I happen to open Acronis.
(I couldn't find another forum to submit feature requests)

Thanks for your reply. I submitted the request just now using the ATIH Feedback tool.
I tried using TLS without changing the gmail setting and got "Authentication failed." Attempting to change the gmail setting gave, via gmail's Help, "This setting is not available for accounts with 2-Step Verification enabled. Such accounts require an application-specific password for less secure apps access."

Thanks for the update.
I don't use 2-step verification on my Gmail account but then again I only use this for this one purpose of enabling notifications for Acronis tasks. Acronis notifications will work equally well with a free Outlook.com email account or most other email providers providing they accept the TLS & port 587 settings.
