I have tried to set up email alarms for a couple of things and clicking "Update Alarms" tells me that settings have been updated. However, when I try to send a test email I get the error below which I'm afraid means nothing to me. I've had a look at the Wiki but I couldn't find
the answer there. There isn't really a lot to setting this up as far as I can see but I must be missing something obvious I suppose.
All I've basically done is tick a couple of boxes (low battery, data connection lost) and added a from email address and a to email address. I have tried using the same address for both and also a different address for each.
"Test email failed: Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

Re: Email alarms
You haven't mentioned it but have you set up the Email Server Settings in Internet Settings?

Re: Email alarms
Very many thanks water01. That fixed it. Just a bit of messing around to overcome Gmail's 2 step authentication but it worked. I probably wasted an hour on this and as I've now discovered, when I get stuck someone on cumulusmx support always comes to the rescue and sorts my problem in no time.
