wish could help ... for us, via SMTP no longer works, and we've been trying everything to get it working again ...
no joy - more transparency would be helpful, or even error-messages that give useful clues !

I have the same problems on my Windows 10 machine. I used to use my ISP’s servers to send and receive, but it’s just not working. I’ve got around sending email using SMTP by using sendgrid.net - free plan. No issues sending now.
I send a number of emails on different events, which is really useful. I also have an email to SMS service which is great for urgent messages (I can tell if my boiler isn’t working, for instance, and receive a text).
I’m not using the receive email option at the moment because of the issues. I had it set up with Amazon Dot - I could tell Alexa to turn a light off and, using IFTTT, it would email Cortex to do just that. Problem was that if the receive interval was set too low, the ISP would block the frequent POP access, but setting it too long, took ages to turn the light off!

Confirm that the POP (e-mail retrieval) connection to gmail does not work. It is believed to be something to do with gmail's authentication process but don't know exactly what. E-mail sending (SMTP) via gmail does work but you should bear in mind the following settings:
In CortexW10 Outgoing e-mail configuration:
smtp.gmail.com
587
Account Name
Password
Simple Login
reply address
SSL checked
In your gmail account (i.e you should log on to your gmail account to access this setting) you must enable 'Allow less secure apps' which allows single step authentication to work

Do you think you can fix e-mail retrieval?
It is useful feature.

A development version of CortexW10 is now available which contains a fix for the problem of retreiving e-mails from gmail (and perhaps others which have been problematic). If you would like to try this please e-mail me/IDRATEK for further guidance
