Samsung cctv help

[tricky1400]

hi I have a Samsung CCTV system and until recently it's been sending me email motion alert emails but on May 30 2022 Gmail stopped allowing less secure apps and I can't find another email provider that will allow me to receive the motion alerts.
can anyone advise of a suitable email provider that I could use ?

thanks for any help

SMTP encryption method: STARTTLS

Kyle hi thanks for your reply.

I have contacted my email provider ( not Gmail who I was using for my CCTV ) ,I asked them to assist me to connect to my CCTV , they have given me some good tips how to get connected and fingers crossed it seems to be working, I have only received a few but the test email has worked so I am hoping that everything is going to be good
