Hey thanks for the tutorial! Are there any general restrictions on SMTPs send limits?

[ieatcrayonseveryday]

good and simple tutorials, subscribed.

One small question however, when I try to call the method, it gives the error: smtplib.SMTPAuthentication: (535, b'5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted)

Ive double checked many times, the password and username used seems to be correct?

Do I always have to click the link to verify authentication? I would prefer if this was automated.

Hi, thank you for this tutorial, I have tried to follow the first tutorial, passing in my email and the App Password from Google. I get the error message: "TimeoutError: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond" do you know what I can do to fix this?

can you share the gmail smtplib code, the envs and email are causing issue, and your password is not written the code ?

[santhoshvaraprasaduppuluri]

if i use my gmail, it is saying authentication error, as do i need to allow less secure apps

Dude, you're missing a lot in this video... What is the APP_PASSWORD supposed to be? Where does 465 come from? Does this work on Windows out of the box? Is app password just your email password?
