Hikvision NVR Email Config for Apple Mail?

[Mattsellors]

I've done a search of the forums and pretty sure this question hasn't been answered, but please redirect if I've missed it.

I've been unsuccessful at setting up emails alerts on my Hikvsion NVR. I am using my Apple email. I have researched all the config advice from Apple and other Hikvision sources, tried setting up an app specific password for my Apple mail, but the "test email" function results in an error. I have read that its best to use a Gmail account, which I can, but wanted to know if anyone had successfully setup email alerts using an Apple email?

Thanks
