We have had some strange mail problems on Windows11 which went away when we downloaded the latest Java mail jar file.
e.g. download javax.mail.jar from https://javaee.github.io/javamail/
rename it as mail.jar and replace the existing file in CleverPsych\jars

You can now use gmail to send mail
e.g. put this in your main configuration file CleverData\config\Configuration.txt

Mail user=santa@gmail.com
Mail password=aaaa bbbb cccc dddd
Mail host=smtp.gmail.com
Mail port=465
Mail SSL=true

Look for Google documentation on App passwords e.g.

Create & use app passwords

Important: To create an app password, you need 2-Step Verification on your Google Account.

  1. Go to your Google Account.
  2. Select Security.
  3. Under "Signing in to Google," select 2-Step Verification.
  4. At the bottom of the page, select App passwords.
  5. Enter a name that helps you remember where you’ll use the app password.
  6. Select Generate.
  7. To enter the app password, follow the instructions on your screen. The app password is the 16-character code that generates on your device.
  8. Select Done.
