Notification Error

[AlFromCochrane]

Hi all,

I am having trouble getting email notifications. Getting the following error:

Warning 2021-04-12 19:31:04 admin 127.0.0.1 Notification Center Service Account and Device Pairing [Notification Center] Authorization has expired. Reauthorize the account: "myaddy.gmail.com".

From what I understand, all "Non-Google" apps required an OAuth certificate of sorts. What a PITA. I used to use my Canadian Telus account but low and behold,Telus ported their email facility to google servers, now I have nothing but headaches...

If any of you are able to configure your gmail smtp server for notifications, please enlighten me. Or any other workaround will work. So I know when my server needs firmware or app updates, or I need to permanently block another country from hack attempts, etc.

cheers,

Any update to this? I'm having the same issue. Thank you.

And what issue would that be?

Hi GoldMember,

Mine is now working. As a precursor to my explanation note that I have a shortcut that loads Chrome whenever I launch a login into my QNAP box. This is because QNAP prefers Chrome over Edge and Edge is my default browser in Win10. I have had this configuration long before Telus bailed on us.

Although I am not 100% sure; this is how I believe I was able to get the correct OAuth blessing from Google. In the chrome browser I logged into my google account. Then in that same browser window, I logged into my QNAP box. I configured my notification email ID for the telus account providing my credentials for same. Then I sent a test email and it worked. I then logged out of my Google account. And sent a second test email. it worked, thus confirming I do not require a google account logged in to make gmail happy. And since then my notifications are being sent through smtp.gmail.com.

Although this may be confusing, it is all I have. Perhaps there is a simpler explanation and I just stumbled into it. Surely it can't be as confusing as Mousetick's reply.

To Mousetick. With all do respect, I am afraid you lost me with your reply.

cheers,

I was replying to GoldMember. Sorry for the confusion.

Ok, this is a new low for QNAP functionality. It spontaneously stops sending alerts, and to help you out, it can't even send you an alert! Then there's this nonsense 'Reauthorize this account' - without any ability to actually do so!

Bloody hell guys. This is just brutal.

I know exactly how you feel. As I was in the same situation until I somehow got mine to work. Perhaps one of the several gurus on this list can help you. Or perhaps gmail support. Or Qnap support. But I would put money on the gurus.

cheers
