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)
