Anyone using this with gmail?

[chppppp]

here is my mail config

    MAIL_ADMINS = ('myaddr@gmail.com',)  # FIXME
    MAIL_SERVER = os.environ.get('FLASK_MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com')
    MAIL_PORT = int(os.environ.get('FLASK_MAIL_PORT', 587))    # tls
    #MAIL_PORT = int(os.environ.get('FLASK_MAIL_PORT', 465))     # ssl
    MAIL_USE_TLS = get_boolean_env('FLASK_MAIL_USE_TLS', True)
    MAIL_USE_SSL = get_boolean_env('FLASK_MAIL_USE_SSL', False)
    MAIL_USERNAME = os.environ.get('FLASK_MAIL_USERNAME', 'myaddr@gmail.com')
    MAIL_PASSWORD = os.environ.get('FLASK_MAIL_PASSWORD', 'myapppass')
    MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER = (
        os.environ.get('FLASK_MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER_NAME', 'Flask React SPA'),
        os.environ.get('FLASK_MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER_EMAIL',
                       f"noreply@{os.environ.get('FLASK_DOMAIN', 'localhost')}")
    )

I get an error Network Unreachable

I tested connectivity and I can open the socket remotely

Am I missing a config item somewhere?

GMail is pretty tricky, if I remember correctly. It's been a long time :) Try searching for "flask-mail gmail" or something similar.

Eg this answer looks promising: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37058567/configure-flask-mail-to-use-gmail

Thanks @briancappello !!! I am decent at python, pretty newbish to the details on Flask and know enough React to be (barely) dangerous. I very much appreciate you replying to my issue and I will try not to inundate you with newb issues <3

I will leave this issue open until I find a solution and will close when I figure it out.

Thanks!!!

gmail appeared tricky, am getting error on, "connection was reset by peer" , could there be a background process resetting the gmail connections?

Hello, I am not sure if you have got it resolved already. It worked for me. The configuration you have done as above is absolutely correct. But additionally, you have to comment/delete another row in the config file where MAIL_PORT is overwritten to 1025. Then it works.

Thanks !!!
