- If port 587 doesn't work for you try 465.
- Username: your Gmail account.
- Password: your Gmail password
- Make sure Use SSL is ticked.
- make sure use authentication is ticked.
Known Issue With Google Accounts
If you have set up your email credentials correctly with the cTrader platform and the emails are failing to be sent with your automated trading system, indicator or trading software then there is a high chance that your email provider is blocking the cTrader application, this blog will help you unblock a GMAIL account.
WARNING
If you are using 2-step authentication in your Google account then you will not be able to send emails via cTrader, it looks like Google have added extra security, we recommend that you use a different email provider to send your emails, most of our products offer telegram alerts, we suggest you use these instead.

Once you have configured your email settings in cTrader the simplest way to test if they will work with any cBot, indicator and trading software that you have downloaded is to download and install the cTrader Email Test Tool on this page, just add it to your shopping cart and checkout, it is free to use.
