Is anyone able to use "reminder by email" feature?

[Grant]

I have read through the forum and see other have similar issues, but no fixes. I assume this feature doesn't actually work.

"send text message" for setup of email account within the desktop application fails every time. I have tried every option I can think of for the email settings for Gmail.

Am thinking of purchasing both android and desktop version and don't think this is a deal breaker, but would be nice to have it work.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Yes, I've been able to use it succesfully. Make sure your SMTP set up is correct.

Grant,

I got it to work using a service installed on my computer called "stunnel". If you search my userid (qhamel) in this group post you will come across how I set it up.

The email reminder feature doesn't work with the current security requirements in gmail. So the stunnel product helps you get around that.

Which server do you use for the reminder sending?

I assume this requires the MLO desktop client / PC running?

The best way in the future to set this up would be via the cloud.

Even better if it could be done with other triggers than due date. Such as a task/project getting a certain context or flag.

(Even better would be if the cloud could interact with IFTTT or Zapier but at least the triggered emails could help some of the way).

One way I would use it would be to give a project a "Project Support Information" marking and then trigger the creation of a folder for that on my Google Drive or Dropbox, with the same name as the project.
