I'm a new user and have successfully installed my base station and two cameras (hardly difficult).  My profile continues to require verification of my email address.  However, even though I am clicking the appropriate spot for said email to be sent to me (and I get the message that an email has been sent) this email never arrives so confirmation of the email address is not happening.

 

Result: I'm up and running but with no feed-back communication - not good.

Check the email address, check your email server in junk bin... ( who is the email provider ? )

Try a different email address if able in the alert area

I am having exactly the same problem with my new Arlo Basic setup.

 

There are no error messages. Using the correct email gives me (This is from my PC - I have also tried doing the confirmation from my Mobile)

"Send email confirmation to MYEMAIL?" - if I click Confirm, it says "Email sent".

 

If I CHANGE the email, as you suggested to NEWEMAIL, or even NEW EMAIL2, it continues to prompt:

"Send email confirmation to MYEMAIL?" - ie completely does not update at least the confirmation message.

 

'Sending' it anyway still results in me not receiving email in any account.

 

Any other suggestions?

Dear Simon,

 

The reply I got from TomMac (above) fixed it.

 

i discovered, following his lead, that my email server was judging all Arlo mail as Junk and binning it.  I specified Arlo/Netgear as an acceptable correspondent and the problem went away.

 

Good luck,

 

Peter

Thank you Peter, but I seem to be having no luck there. I have changed my server block/safe list to allow NETGEAR.COM as an acceptable email, and I'm still getting nothing. Would it appear in my Spam/Trash folders if it was blocking them (because there's nothing in those either)?

Hi Simon,

 

Sorry to hear it didn't help, anything else, though, is beyond me as my fix was so "easy".

 

Best wishes,
