Does anyone have a working Vikunja instance sending emails through Gmail? I’ve enabled the mailer options and entered the info but the test_email function times out. I’ve checked all the information and even tried different ports.

Honestly at this point it doesn’t have to be Gmail (I’m just most familiar with this workflow). I just need my Vikunja instance to send emails.

Edit: I was able to solve my issue. You can only create Gmail app passwords if you have 2FA enabled. I also had the wrong address (it’s smtp.gmqil.com not smtp.google.com)

    I was under the impression that Google retired the “app password” workflow and moved to Gmail API within Google Cloud. I have the API set up and that’s what I’m using in the Vikunja configs but like I mentioned in the post, at this point I don’t care if its Gmail or something else. I just need the email functionality to work so I will use whatever service works well with Vikunja.
