Email Configuration

MotiveWave™ may be configured to send out email messages as part of alerts or signals generated by studies. You will need to configure the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) settings in the Preferences dialog to enable this feature. These settings will be found under the Email tab. Choose Configure -> Preferences from the Console menu bar to display the Preferences dialog.

Notes: Most email providers now use OAuth instead of simple authentication. You would need to find an email provider that allows connection without 2FA.

Another option is to create a third-party app password and enter it in the password field. This method is supported by Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook. Additionally, you may need to enable 2FA in order to generate a third-party app password.

More information on the third-party app password can be found here:

If you are using a corporate email address, you will need to contact your network administrator to get the specific SMTP settings.
