Failed to send the test e-mail
I am using Acronis 2017. Previously, the notification worked just fine.
Now I am getting the error message, ' Failed to send the test e-mail. Check the specified settings'
I have triple checked the settings and they are 100% correct. I also checked to make certain that Windows allows Acronis permissions in the control panel.
I even attempted setting it up with another e-mail and that failed as well.
Any help would certainly be appreciated.
Thanks up front

I have NEVER been able to get email notification to work on ANY acronis software. I'm a customer of true image 2008 through 2020 and now I'm trying this yet again with Acronis Disk Monitor. I really need someone to tell me why my @gmail.com account won't work.... my @terren.net dotster hosted email won't work, where I can create any email account I want. I have control of server settings... and nothing I do can make this work. PLEASE HELP. This would be fantastic to use.
Terren.net
UPDATE: HURRAY.... I've got it working... after 12 years. SEE ATTAHED.
I had to go to gmail and ALLOW LESS SECURE APPS to access my @gmail.com even thought it's only for sending.
I have a ticket open now with Dotster.com (via chat) to see if they have a similar switch that will make my @terren.net email work... without having to use my gmail account.
Dotster says... "The option will be included in email settings called as 'Secure connection'. We will notify you once the option is enabled to you account. "
So, other email hosts may have similar back-end fixes for this.
CHEERS :)

The less secure apps issue is documented here in KB 57875: Acronis True Image: E-mail Notifications to Gmail Fail with "Authentication failed"
