I just re-setup my email settings in my nas for gmail. I looked for the settings, which i found on a few older posts, but they didn't work. After some searching on the internet I realized that I have 2 factor  authentication turned on and would have to go get a special password for my nas so that it would work. Basically my settings look like this :

Login method:  Account
Username: [email protected]
Password: leavethisblankforrightnow
Port: 587
SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
Sender email: [email protected]
Receiver email: [email protected]
Secure connection: STARTTLS

Now that this is done, it is time to head to gmail. Click on settings (it is the gear looking thing ), then go to sign-in and security . Once there look for app password, add an app password, make it custom (name it whatever you want) then generate a password. Put this password into the nas setting for the password (labeled above as leavethisblankfornow). This will forgo the 2 factor authentication issue.

I thought i would post this encase anyone else ever had issues.

Thank you for posting this. Hope this helps gmail users. 

Can review this for help on DNS email setup:

It seems that Google has changed their interface and these instructions are no longer valid.  Could someone please post out the new procedure?  I have successfully added notification emails to me DNS323 but the same settings don't work for my DNS343.

Use port 465 (SSL-TLS) and for the username remove the "@gmail.com"

Also in some cases you may need to do this --> http://support.dlink.com/FAQView.aspx?f=EtsWnye%2f5hsweBlN5IYO0A%3d%3d

Hi, I'm using Bell internet at home, and can't figure out why Dlink DSC2630l is not sending test email successfully.

My setup:
Username: [email protected] (also tried without @gmail.com)
Password: mypassword
Port: 465  (also tried 587 for TLS)
SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
Sender email: [email protected]
Receiver email: [email protected]
Secure connection: SSL-TLS

And I also turned off the option in gmail: http://support.dlink.com/FAQView.aspx?f=EtsWnye%2f5hsweBlN5IYO0A%3d%3d

When I used Outlook to setup gmail, it is successful.  Any clue would be extremely helpful!

Thanks!
