Yahoo and Gmail both require a specific port to send emails. The command in HG does not allow for selecting a port. Please add a port to support these and other email servers.
Yahoo:

Gmail:

I'm adding this to the to-do-list.

It looks like the port and SSL options are now available in HomeGenie, but email notifications still do not appear to work with Gmail.
I'm using the following when configuring the e-mail account (Configure->Automation->Messaging and Social->E-Mail Account):
1. E-Mail address: [email protected]
2. SMTP Mail Server address: smtp.gmail.com
3. SMTP username (optional): [email protected]
4. SMTP password (optional): password
5. SMTP Mail Server port: 465
6. SMTP Mail Server use SSL (TRUE or FALSE): TRUE

Does this feature currently work with yahoo? I have it set up per a web guide for yahoo settings but no joy...
http://email.about.com/od/accessingyahoomail/f/Yahoo_Mail_SMTP_Settings.htm (http://email.about.com/od/accessingyahoomail/f/Yahoo_Mail_SMTP_Settings.htm)
I've tried both standard and plus settings. I also tried gmail, but it has a different tls and ssl port so that could be an issue. There are no errors in the mono console to help.b

Changing the port to 587 does the trick. ie. Step 5
5. SMTP Mail Server port: 587
As part of my troubleshooting using port 465, I also tried adding certificate validation as per the stackoverflow article below. However, this did not have any affect.

Hi, all
Perhaps a "test" button in the mail settings area will be great.
How would one use these settings to send mails?
Thanks,
Eugene

This is the settings interface for using email in HG. The next step is to use a command to send the email. I posted an example script that is about 4 lines of code last month that should get you going.
