What happened to my gmail notifications?

[sknyc]

I have this email alert set up for a few months and worked just fine. All of a sudden about 2 weeks ago, I stopped receiving emails. I went into the configuration, and saw that everything was there where it was supposed to be configured. I retyped over the gmail smtp configuration and hit Save, it say failed to modify.
Any idea what could have messed it up?

in short, gmail requires TLS for email.SSL does not cut it anymore

There are only 2 options under email encryption: close/SSL.
Also, it can take both SSL/TLS.

It is resolved. Nothing was changed, I just updated the ivms-4200 from version 2.4 to 2.5. I received email afterwards. I am not sure if that's what fixed it. I don't like unknowns. Hikvision provides next to nothing support, but the cameras are of good quality.
