  4. Set the SMTP server address and port. If the SMTP server requires authentication set the authentication type and enter the credentials the TeraStation should use to send email. For more information on configuration of web email providers, refer to the settings for each provider:Gmail, Yahoo, or Office365.
    NOTE: To use Gmail as your SMTP server, you need to have multi factor authentication enabled on your Gmail account, then setup their app passwords to log in, instead of using your account password: Gmail App Passwords
    For other third-party email services (e.g., SMTP2GO, SendGrid, Mailgun), please consult the provider's official documentation for the correct SMTP settings.
