Nextcloud, Qbittorrent, Truenas and loads of other svcs take optional email credentials for sending alerts and other features (eg. password recovery for nextcloud).

What email providers do people usually use to make this process simple to set up? For example, Microsoft doesn’t allow basic auth anymore so it’s supposedly not possible to use via most of these setups, and some other services seem like they have a low inbox size (does this matter?)

    I’ve been pretty lazy with this.

    I used to use my hotmail account, but they disabled password auth for smtp and many programs dont support 0auth2.

    With that change, I just moved to using gmail. You’ve gotta create an App Password for smtp, but other wise works fine.

    I’ve just been too lazy to move out of gmail+hotmail. Maybe one day
