ok, I have been trying various iterations to get this to work from my Reolink NVR. I have tried using a yahoo account my wife owns, and it doesn't work there either. I have also tried using the recommendations using an app generated password for my gmail account and that does not work either.

Do email alerts work using a gmail account and if so, what is the step by step procedure to make this work? I am an IT guy and I consider myself pretty savvy and this is frustrating me immensely. It should not be this difficult.
