Introduction

There is a feature Email Notification in AOMEI Backupper, which allows you to send a report of the backup or sync execution result to an email address you provide.

There are four SMTP servers for sending notification emails: Hotmail Server, Gmail Server, AOMEI Server, and Custom Server. In many cases, Gmail Server is widely used to send email notifications. To configure Gmail Server for email notifications in AOMEI Backupper settings, you will be required to enter the app password. This article describes how to enable app password for email notifications.
