Help with Email setup?

[craft211]

I'm looking to find some help getting the email settings setup. I have been making changes to the config file for a few days now trying our different settings and im not able to get anything work.

The System Information scree shows Email settings - Email settings not configured.

If this isn't a great place to ask this, please let me know where to go.

Here are my current setting in config.yaml. I have tried the settings in both "Email backend configuration" and "Email" sections separately and together.

'# Email backend configuration
'# Ref: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/email/
'# Available options:
'# host: Email server host address
'# port: Email port
'# username: Account username
'# password: Account password
'# prefix: Email subject prefix
'# tls: Enable TLS support
'# ssl: Enable SSL support

'# Alternatively, these options can all be set using environment variables,
'# with the INVENTREE_EMAIL_ prefix:
'# e.g. INVENTREE_EMAIL_HOST / INVENTREE_EMAIL_PORT / INVENTREE_EMAIL_USERNAME
'# Refer to the InvenTree documentation for more information

email:
backend: 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
host: 'smtp.gmail.com'
port: 587
username: '[email protected]'
password: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
sender: ''
tls: True
ssl: False_

Thanks for any help!

Hi there @craft211 !
Two things that might be blockers:

• On gmail you need to use app passwords for smtp - not your normal password - see this link
• I can not see a sender - this also must be set (to an address your gmail-account is permitted to send from)

Thank you for your assistance Matmair.

I did make those corrections, but im still showing Email settings not configured.

Is there a way to verify that the changes have taken in inventree?

Apologies for my ignorance here. Still kind of a noob with docker but im trying to learn.

Here is my settings.

email:
backend: 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
host: 'smtp.gmail.com'
port: 587
username: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
password: 'Google App passwords from google account page'
sender: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
tls: True
ssl: True

Also I've tried alternating the SSL and TLS to true, as well as both true. I've also tried the different ports with Gmail. 587 and 465.

@craft211 that should be sufficient. You can check here:

Did you restart the server after making the changes to the settings configuration?
