Hi Pete,

Right now I have some methods showing a red flag - I presume there is some sort of issue but there is no  help text that I could find.  Thank you and apologies if this has been asked before.

A red flag indicates that the method contains debug code - e.g., a breakpoint, self halt, or Transcript showln: 'something'. Analogously, a blue flag stands for a method that needs your attention, e.g., if it contains self flag: #someTodo, self notYetImplemented or something else. If you would like to know it exactly, you can look this up in Behavior>>#toolIconSelector:. :-)

The app did prompt for server/port/email address but without smtp login credentials it won’t be able to send the email. Thanks!

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. If you are trying to send a mail from Squeak for the first time, it will ask you for your email address, your mail server and port, your username, and your password. For mail server and port, you need to enter the details for the SMTP server of your email provider. You can usually google that information or ask your local administrator. Just for example, for outlook.com, the server is smtp-mail.outlook.com and the port is 587. The username is either your email address or everything before the @ (e.g., ppadilcdx). Note that in particular, Gmail further complicates SMTP access and requires you to sign in with an app password [1], so instead of your normal Google password, you would have to generate an app password for SMTP under https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords and specify this password in Squeak.

Hope that helps!
