Notification not received via mail when there is change in the website content

[Immanuel-Codoid]

Description
Notification set to be sent to my Email ID but I didn't receive any

Version
0.39.19.1

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click on "Edit" on any watch
2. Navigate to "Notifications"
3. Enter the "(mailto://user:pass@example.com?to=receivingAddress@example.com)" URL in the notification URL list
4. Check whether there is any change in the website content

Expected behavior
When I enter notification URL eg**(mailto://username:password@gmail.com?to=receivingaddress@gmail.com)** I should receive notification email in the receiving address

Actual behavior
Notification mail is not received and the under the watch website I see "Notification error detected, please see logs."

Moved to discussions - not a bug. must be a config issue

and so what is in the notification logs? and the logs in general?

[Immanuel-GWU]

I'm not aware of where should I navigate to check the logs. Can you direct me where to check the logs un the UI?

[dgtlmoon]

Just hit [edit] or [settings] and goto [notifications]

@Immanuel-Codoid so you just broadcasted your gmail password to the whole internet by pasting that log, please be more thoughtful.... I would suggest deleting that log snippet

Sorry @dgtlmoon that was not thoughtful,

Exact format used - mailto://immanuel****:pwd@gmail.com?to=immanuel@c*****.com

This is the format I used for Notification URL, can you send me a correct format for triggering the notification mail?
It would be very helpful

I am testing using Gmail and found this documentation:

https://github.com/caronc/apprise/wiki/Notify_email

You have to generate an app password if you have 2 factor authentication enabled on your gmail account.

I would be interested in the correct format as well. I haven't had any success in getting email alerts to work.
