in order to successfully activate the email feature and subsequently send snapshots the following must be done: (Gmail taken as an example )
1. Login into gmail and ensure that Less secure apps are allowed to sign in to the account in question
1.1 Link to less secure apps: https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps (click Turn on)
2. Go to the DVR/IP Cam (xmeye os) Settings - System - Netseting and open the email option
3. Enter smtp.gmail.com at smtp box, port 465, SSL (Needed, check the box) and the rest as per account in question
4. Check settings, hopefully you get success
5. on the DVR/IP cam via local login or via browser go to Alarm then Snapshot and activate snapsho to desired features and timing
6. Setting, Alarm, Video Motion - Enable, click the box for email and press the button for snapshot...also check the timing for alarm above
This is what I did and it worked
let me know if I can help further
