    Every small business has an ISP. Use the small business local ISP email account for all MFD email settings.

    Use the private email for all MFD email send and recieving.
    I wish I could still use ISP e-mail servers here!

    Here in Omaha we really only have 1 ISP as CenturyLink isn't really competition in my opinion. Cox Communications E-Mail servers seem to have WAYYYYY too many intermittent problems when used with our copiers here. Not sure why but around 7-10 years ago it went to crap: E-mails taking hours or even days to send, strange authentication errors out of the blue, random send errors scattered in between successful scans throughout the day, etc... After switching SMTP servers, problems go away! I don't even bother anymore unless the customer's IT insists on using the ISP SMTP.

    Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

    Today a strange event for me. I had to do my classic daily scan. The printer tells me login error: impossible! This is an account that I use only for that printer. For security I put the password on Gmail and it worked. For security I have entered the password again.
    After a while I get the email that the account is blocked for 12 hours. Now I have created a new account and it works.

    Sounds like someone was trying to hack your gmail.

    Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

    I do not believe. This is an email that is only in that printer in my lab. For no apparent reason, it gave login error. If someone had changed the password, I would not have been able to log in to Gmail on my PC. I believe this is a signal that Google is trying the new protection system, that is, for third party apps the password will be different from the main password.
