Hey everyone,

I figured this may be a good sub to post in given the connection between data hoarding and NAS’s.

I have a Buffalo LinkStation LS220DE (LS220DE3F5) Version 1.78-0.03 and am running into issues getting SMTP to work. I go to send a test email and get a very generic error “Because of an error, the following process did not complete: Sending test email notification.”

• SMTP Server Address: smtp-mail.outlook.com
• SMTP Port: 587
• Authentication Type: LOGIN (SMTP-AUTH)
• SSL/TLS: STARTTLS
• Username: [email protected]
• Password: App & Normal both tried (MFA enabled / disabled, respectively)
• Subject: This has text as it is marked required
• Recipient(s): I’ve tried both an Outlook and Gmail email

I’m not sure what I’m missing or if it’s the simple fact that this NAS is out-dated as hell where it’s a no longer supported feature. Also, at my wife’s request, I tried turning it off then back on again.
