In order to send e-mail alerts to accounts requiring SSL (secure socket layer) connection you need to follow these steps:

1. Download and run SSL add-on from: http://www.amibroker.com/bin/SSLAddOn.exe.
   Extra steps for 64-bit installs only: By default EMailerSSL.exe program is installed into AmiBroker 32-bit installation folder – but it is also possible to use it with 64-bit version of AmiBroker with some additional steps:
   1. Create C:\Program Files (x86)\AmiBroker folder (if 32-bit version of AB is not installed)
   2. Run SSLAddOn.exe from the link above
   3. Copy EMailerSSL.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\AmiBroker folder to C:\Program Files\AmiBroker folder

2. Configure account in the Tools->Preferences->Alerts, for example GMail configuration looks as follows:
