Hi.
There was an update on the library.
 
Replace the following lines:

/* Get the result item */
SMTP_Result result = smtp.sendingResult.getItem(i);
localtime_r(&result.timesstamp, &dt);

 
With these:

/* Get the result item */
SMTP_Result result = smtp.sendingResult.getItem(i);
time_t ts = (time_t)result.timestamp;
localtime_r(&ts, &dt);

 
Let me know if this solves the problem.
Regards,
Sara

Thank you very much for your reply Sara,
As I am very seriously in following  every letter in your book I have to notice that on page 43 you suggested to use 
version 1.0.4 of the ESP-32 cam board so I keptt this version active in all my experiments……
Note: Throughout this eBook, we’ll use version 1.0.4. At the time of writing this
eBook, newer versions have issues with the ESP32-CAM.
After getting some trouble, as you can see in my ESP-32 Cam Forum questions I solved some matters by updating to the last board version 1.0.6.
It does not mean that all my issues are solved now.
Your above suggestion was not succesful.
email was not sent and the result of the “picturecapure” you can find her at:
roosje.ddns.net:1825
(as long as I am NOT experimenting the board…..)
Thank you very much for your support,
Alex
 

Hi Alex.
I’m sorry, but I didn’t understand what is the current issue at the moment.
Can you better explain?

Hi Sara,
As I modified the sketch as you suggested It’s still impossinle for me to execute an email in sketches of Module3/ unit1 and in Module3/ unit3.
In both sketches I am confrontaded wit the same error when I try to send email.
< S: 501 5.5.4 Error: Bad NOTIFY parameter syntax
Error, set recipient failed

Here you will find a total overview of the COM-port feedback after executing an email send:

Please advise after checking these sketches by yourself first…!

Thank you in advance

Hi.
I just tested the exmaple of Module 1, Unit 3 and it is working fine.
 
As you can see from the logs you’ve posted, there is a 501 SMTP error:
< S: 501 5.5.4 Error: Bad NOTIFY parameter syntax
If you search for SMTP error codes, you’ll find that:
501: Syntax error in parameters or arguments
 
So, there might be some error in the sending email, sending password and/or SMTP server details. I searched for your email provided SMTP details, and it seems you inserted the correct details: https://www.postbox-inc.com/setup/email-settings/access-zeelandnet-nl-via-imap-smtp
 
There must be something wrong with the details of your email provider or some setting that needs to be activated… I’m not sure. I’m not familiar with that email provider…
 
Do you have a gmail account that you can experiment with?
 
Regards,
Sara
 
 
 
 

Thank you for your advise, Sara
Indeed a safety setting at my email-provider
Gmail was not a problem at all
Problem solved 
Thank you,
Alex

Great.
I’ll mark this issue as resolved. If you need further help, you just need to open a new question in our forum.

Sara
