+=== GMAIL E-mail Alert Settings===
+==== Configuration 1 ====
+Gmail SMTP server address: smtp.gmail.com<br>
+Gmail SMTP user name: Your full Gmail address (e.g. example@gmail.com)<br>
+Gmail SMTP password: A 16-digit app password generated in your Google Account as per [https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833 the guide]<br>
+Gmail SMTP port: 465<br>
+Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required: yes (SSL)<br>
+==== Configuration 2 ====
+Gmail SMTP server address: smtp.gmail.com<br>
+Gmail SMTP user name: Your full Gmail address (e.g. example@gmail.com)<br>
+Gmail SMTP password: A 16-digit app password generated in your Google Account as per [https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833 the guide]<br>
+Gmail SMTP port: 587<br>
+Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required: yes (TLS)<br>
+<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">Since “Less secure apps access” was disabled by Gmail, it is required to configure the “App Password” for your Gmail account and use it in MultiCharts Email Alert settings. Please find more info about configuring “Sign in with App Passwords” [https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833 here]. Follow the instructions to generate the app password and insert it in the '''Password''' field in the '''Using''' section.

+Drawings are intended to work with symbol data and they react to price changes. So alerts can be triggered only by the drawings applied to symbols. Drawings applied to indicators won’t give any alerts as long as indicators don't have prices, but only plots, so drawings can never cross a price and therefore no alerts will be triggered when drawings cross indicator plots.
