SMTP example -0xfffffe09 - UNKNOWN ERROR CODE (0180) : UNKNOWN ERROR CODE (0077)

[chruge]

Hello everyone

I tried to run the SMTP example. Connecting and certificate check works, but now I am stuck with an unknown error.

How can I debug this one?

Many thanks and kind regards

I switched to a gmail account to be close to the example. There's another problem now.

What do the limits stand for?

Sorry, I forgot to say, that I'm using ESP-IDF 5.2 and an ESP32.

Talking to myself I found a solution.

I followed the guide: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-s ... duino-ide/

The link above works with GMail. Basically you have to set up 2-Step verification in you google account and then create an "App Password", which allows access with a lower security level.

How ever, Google announces, that they will change their security procedures in septemper 2024. The smpt example could not be running out of the box after that.

Hope that helps to others that strugle with smtp.
