Hi Michael Brado,

I was able to make the Alarm Email Notification with gmail work with test sucess and emails too however with one change - SMTP Authentication Username i used was "without" @gmail.com. for me 2-step verification was disabled.

Here is the screenshot: http://prntscr.com/548fp3

Please note i am using ZD1000 with Version - 9.3.4.0 build 21 and not sure if something changed after the firmware version i used

best of luck.

KBA-3399 says:

The GmailSMTP server settings for sending mail through Gmail from any email program are:

• Gmail SMTP serveraddress:smtp.gmail.com

• Gmail SMTP user name: Your full Gmail address (e.g. example@gmail.com)

• Gmail SMTP password: Your Gmail password

• Gmail SMTP port (TLS): 587

• Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required: yes

...and does your ISP permit SMTP and TLS protocol/port 587?

Here are the settings that worked within the ZD Configure / System section:

There are times when one has 2-step security verification enabled in your gmail account.  The above parameters will not work if one has 2-step verification security enabled.  To make it work, disable 2 step verification or go to the Account settings option of your gmail.  Within the Account options, select Security.  Within Security, select the 2-step verification settings.  Then log in and select the App Specific Passwords section tab.  Then click on the Manage 'Application-specific passwords' tab.  There the SW will generate a password for you to use in the SMTP Authentication password section.
