Change email settings
Since my major reorganisation of my server (and simultaneous update of Backup4all) I find I am not getting emails signifying completion status. It was necessary to make large changes to my backup jobs, creating some new ones as well. I suspect that I have given the wrong credentials for sending emails, but can't find any way to change them. I need to send all details for successful smtp. How can I do this? Thanks.

Here is a part of the log file, which I hope will show someone what my problem is:

GMail does use the login method I believe. I have confirmed the login details on Edge (which doesn't have any saved passwords) and the login completed successfully, so I can't see how Backup4All could be sending the wrong details. I did read the support article mentioned, but as far as I can see, none of the reasons given there are relevant to my problem. Any ideas?

Re: Change email settings
Hi,
Do you use 2-Step Verification for your Gmail account?
If you've turned on 2-Step Verification for your account, you might need to enter an App password instead of your regular password.

Re: Change email settings
No, it's not two-step verification. I'm not even clear which password I'm supposed to give. It seemed likely that it wanted the smtp.google password, but I've also tried my local user password. I can see from the logs that Backup4all is trying to send the emails, so it has to be my configuration of the communication that's wrong. I'd be grateful for any pointers. Thanks.
Re: Change email settings
The error message says "SMTP server replied: ChilkatLog". Googling suggests that this means authentication is being attempted without security settings - and sure enough the logfile says
StartTLS: 0
I know that gmail will not accept messages without StartTLS set to !, so how can I change this?

Re: Change email settings
Hi,
You must enter your Gmail login password.

Re: Change email settings
Yes, that seemed the most likely, so it is what I have been doing.
