Hi there
Under Configuration->Preferences->Email, it seems the send email test fails for MotiveWave 6.07. It seems to work under 6.06. I am also using Gmail address. Does this make sense?
Thanks

Strange. I am using the exact same setting from 6.07 to 6.08. I also use the same Gmail settings.

I will just put this here:

I noticed strange behavior in version 6.1.13

I needed to change the address used to authenticate with the SMTP-server. Upon entering the new mail / password I kept getting error 535. I inspected my email-server's logs and discovered this means 'wrong password'.

I was 100% I entered the correct password, so I suspected it not being saved correctly in MW. And indeed, clicking 'apply' and then 'ok' in the preferences-window is NOT sufficient ! You need to enter the correct settings, apply them, restart MotiveWave and only then the new password is being used when trying to authenticate with the email server.

May be of help to someone / bug to be removed ? :)
