I've been trying to get gmail based notifications working and I'm having no success. I first tried going the App Password route, given I have 2 factor enabled, and I never could get an email to go out. I then decided to just create a new gmail account, without 2fac, and using that password. Same result.
Summary of my setup:
* raspberry pi 3
* reef pi 5.1 (previously tried under 4.x)
* pi definitely has internet access
* I don't have any other telemetry enabled, I'm just trying to do Email alerts
Email alerts config:
* server: smtp.gmail.com
* port: 587 (I've also tried 465)
* from: [email protected]
* to: [email protected]
* username: [email protected]
* password: mypasswordhere (I've tried a real password on a non-2fac account, and an app password on a 2 fac)
* all the accounts I tried have IMAP access enabled
To enter that I:
1. go to the telemetry screen
2. enter it all in
3. hit update.
Result: There's no response (successful nor unsuccessful). If I hit update again I get an error saying I need to specify a valid password.
4. refresh
5. go to the page and hit Send test message
Result: nothing. No message in the UI. No emails in the gmail account
Seeing as I just created another gmail account for testing, I am completely fine PM'ing the actual credentials to that account if it'd help.
Also, if it's preferred I file this on github please let me know and I can copy-paste there.
