Is anyone able to successfully use the "eMail alerts" function to alert you for needed cluster spots?  The outgoing emails generally work (both manually generated test messages as well as real-life notifications), but about 25% of the time, Logger32 hangs up during the process.  While Logger32 is still partially functioning, I get an hourglass and I get no further incoming telnet messages.  When this happens, I'm forced to close Logger32, open Windows task manager, manually stop the Logger32.exe process, then restart Logger32.

I've tried sending the email messages to various SMTP accounts that I have and I've also tried installing Logger32 onto two different Windows 7 PC's.  Nothing I've tried allows this feature to work reliably.  What am I missing, or is this a bug in Logger32?

 

I had about as much luck as you with this, and eventually gave up trying to make the email feature work. It did sometimes work, but often would hang up Logger32. I have left all the address/password boxes populated except the ones that define when to send a text, so if it ever starts working, I don't need to revisit those . 

On the upside I now use a mobile phone app by G7VJR (Mr ClubLog) called "dxlite". It has to be manually updated, so is low on cell resources. Sure, it does not warn you of specific DX but is a pretty useful tool to tell you when to get back in the shack. Michael says he gets up to 400 hits/second on it.

Pete, on your Outlook account have you tried using IMAP protocol instead of POP3.

It works fine for me here, but I had to turn off my mailwasher, since that required a manual accept.

I could never get it going to my outlook account, but works fine on a freshly set up gmail address.
