email alert to send through hotmail. Hotmail is now outlook so using outlook serversas attached

I can confirm that there should be no problems, outlook / hotmail accounts are working without issues
(if not blocked by firewall).

Please verify the email configuration, maybe the username / password is not correct - or maybe the firewall blocks the connection.

Please check:

Also it is possible that the smtp sending is blocked - the above link also describes a such situation:

Turns out that Outlook.com was blocking SMTP send on my account, for no apparent reason.
I cleared it up with Microsoft and sending is working now. Sorry for the false alarm, and thank you for your proactive help.

Thanks. How can one test the display message on screen option

Just configure an alert which should be displayed:

1) On Configuration -> Message settings page, enable the "Display message on screen" option (and may disable the Send e-mail option if you want message to be displayed on the screen only).

2) Then on the Alerts page, enable one or more event(s) below the "Send/display message" column.

When that event happens (on the next periodic detection) - the appropriate alert is displayed.


For example, try to configure a yellow-temperature-limit alert: on Configuration -> Alerts page, under "When temperature is too high" enable the first alert (temperature value showed with yellow color) below the "Send/display message" column.

This way when the temperature of any hard disk is between the yellow and red thresholds, the alert displayed.
You may adjust the temperature thresholds at Configuration -> Thresholds / Tray icon.

Thanks, yes, sometimes adjusting the thresholds may help to trigger a test-alert
