First I got the email up and running with you help. Thanks.
Observed behaviors since email alert activation. Screenshot files attached.
1 - Files Alerts setup 1 & 2 show my list of alerts. Note only MAIL TEST is enabled.
2 - File Alerts and telnet shows the alerts and the telnet activity.
3 - Files email 1 & 2 show the email I received.
4 - Files Spots 1, 2 & 3 show the spot log activity along with the telnet activity for the same period. These spots are for a one minute period. The spot log shows multiple entries for a single telnet spot.
Note that the telnet times are one minute later than the spot log. I don't consider this a problem but interesting.
After the telnet runs for about 3 to 5 minutes logic shows the round busy cursor about 90% of the time and clicking on anything on the logic window yields not response as one would expect. When the arrow cursor returns you can get a response by clicking on something, however, it may take several second for anything to happen and usually the cursor has returned to busy.
Before I make the screenshot files I first disabled every background app except Windows Defender, gmail via Google Chrome, and Dimension 4 clock app to be sure that some of the other background apps I was running were not contributing to the situation. Then I restarted the computer with the apps disabled and started logic. The behavior was unchanged.
There has been an error message referring to a "DO" exceeding limits if I remember correctly. Sorry I did not capture that one.
I have tested my email connection from logic after observing the behavior and I still got the test message.
Hope all this helps.
