MotionEyeOS E-Mail Settings for Motion Notifications


So after wasting a couple of hours trying to setup gmail. Found googles documentation stating that in order to use an app password. MFA needs to be setup. Not interested in doing that on a “Throw away account”

Was able to get it up and running using a GMX account.

Prerequisite: Enable POP and SMTP on the account.

  • In the E-mail tab
  • click Settings.
  • Click POP3 & IMAP.
  • Activate the checkbox that says Enable access to this account via POP3 and IMAP.
  • Click Save
