Set up SMTP for MetaTrader 4 in 3 easy steps with GMX
How to set up GMX in MT4
GMX is an email service. Setting up GMX SMTP is a step towards receiving real time notification from TX Auto Alert.
Step #1 – Sign up for a Free GMX email account
Sign up for a Free GMX email account: http://www.gmx.com/
This is perhaps the most difficult of the 3 steps as this is a very popular solution with MetaTrader 4 (MT4) users which require a free SMTP service. As they say, “If first you don’t succeed, try and try again.”
Step #2- Run the following after registering an account login and password
- Run MetaTrader 4
- Click on Tools
- Go to Options
- Select the Email tab
- Check Enable
Step #3 – Key in the below information
- SMTP server: mail.gmx.com:587
- SMTP login: your email account@gmx.com
- SMTP password: your GMX email password
- From: your email account@gmx.com
- To: any email address you wish to receive the email on. (This can be Gmail, GMX, Yahoo or Hotmail ..etc)
Before you click on OK, you might want to click on Test to send a test email and check if you have received it on your destination email account (The email you put in the To:)
Important notice
TX Auto Alert requires an SMTP setup that GMX offers. This is a replacement for previous solutions like Yahoo and AOL. It is not compulsory. Traders who are not using TX Auto Alert push notification should NOT run this setup.
Besides GMX, other solutions are hMailserver and TurboSMTP.
Last time, many things that I wanted were just dreams, now I see them as possibilities. I’m looking forward to own pent-house suite in Manhattan overlooking Central Park because forex trading with Tflow® makes it possible. Find me on Google+
