I am trying to setup email notification via GMail, but cannot get the test emails to go thru. I am using Overseer 1.30.1 via Docker-compose image. I have applicationURL set, I have the email settings done based on GMail SMTP, but the test email never goes out. My logs do not show any error, just says that it is trying to send.

The only thing my log shows is:
{
"errorMessage": "Connection timeout",
"recipient": "ben.kn1ght",
"subject": "Test Notification",
"type": "TEST_NOTIFICATION"
}

Are you using an application password? https://docs.overseerr.dev/using-overseerr/notifications/email#smtp-username-and-password
slate pivot
turned on 2FA for that account and generated an App Password.
no luck.
tried using @gmail.com and removing @gmail.com for the SMTP username.
keep getting connection timeout
{
"errorMessage": "Connection timeout",
"recipient": "ben.kn1ght",
"subject": "Test Notification",
"type": "TEST_NOTIFICATION"
}

Can you try with "Always use STARTTLS" for the encryption method?
slate pivot
still nothing.

Just tried with my gmail account, works with the settings you have in the screenshot
The connection timing out is more likely a network connection issue between Overseerr and the internet

Im not sure what could be blocking the container from getting out.
is ther some other setting that I could have screwed up?
I can send notifications via pushbullet
so its working from that side of things

Don't think so... 🤔
Can you try pinging gmail.com from the Overseerr container?
slate pivot
getting a reply
pinging smtp.gmail.com also works
god damnit
fixed
I had it as smtp.google.com
not smtp.gmail.com
I might be an idiot
slate pivot

clever lily
No problem 😉
Glad you figured it out
