MT5 & e-mail: does it work?

[Bodolino]

Hi there,

I am currently despairing over not being able to properly configure MetaTrader 5 → Tools → Options → Email (or rather it's a MT5-specific issue).

This is, however, a prerequisite for the SendMail()-function to work.

I've tried it with many different email providers, but none worked. Except for Outlook, but only briefly, once immediately upon Outlook account registration. A little later it failed again.

I seem not to be the only one having such difficulties: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/34775#comment_3849164

Does email in MT5 work for anybody? If so, can you please share your email provider, MT5- & email provider-configurations?

Thank you very much!
