  1. Obtain your Amazon SES SMTP Credentials as shown in Amazon’s documentation.
     Note: Your SMTP username and password are different from your AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.

  2. Go to the Email settings in the IoT Console and be sure the setup for Amazon SES is as follows:

    • SMTP Host: email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
       This assumes that you want to use Amazon SES in the US West (Oregon) AWS Region. If you want to use a different Region, be sure to use the desired region. For a list of SMTP endpoint URLs for the AWS Regions where Amazon SES is available, see Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES).

    • SMTP Port: 587

    • SMTP Username: Your Username from SES SMTP Credentials

    • SMTP Password: Your Password from SES SMTP Credentials

    • SMTP Secure: No

    • SMTP Require TLS: Yes
