Hi SeaTable Team, I am trying to enable email sending flowing [https://manual.seatable.io/config/sending\_email/](https://manual.seatable.io/config/sending_email/). When I reset the password of an user, I receive the error `Successfully reset password to [...], but failed to send email to [...].com, please check your email configuration.`. My email settings in `dtable_web_settings.py`: ![email_data](https://forum.seatable.io/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8b005c74c7d75a95430f6e6c0df20542aa71f280.png) The logs: ![seatable_logs](https://forum.seatable.io/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3be6b3ac6c0175a64763941ee21cfc6ae2fc1a35.png) Do you have any ideas where I went wrong? I would very much appreciate your help. ---

Hi, I don’t see the line `SERVER_EMAIL` in your settings: ![image](https://forum.seatable.io/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4766c4d903c2a78f50eac848d5330fdcd73ab41c.png) Maybe this is the cause? ---

Thank you @Karlheinz for the quick response. I have checked it, I have actually the last line. Sorry that the screenshot didn’t show complete information. ![new_screenshot](https://forum.seatable.io/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6fc5ead8cf98261991d47db681fca9b212b2723d.png) ---

OK! I’m pretty sure the problem lies in Gmail. So, you are sure, too, that your google mail login doesn’t require a 2-factor-authentication? If yes, then you’ll need a device password instead of your login password. If that’s not the case - have you enabled “Less secure apps” in your Gmail settings? See the following article: > **[Troubleshooting GMAIL SMTP authentication errors](https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001719551-Troubleshooting-GMAIL-SMTP-authentication-errors)** > > Overview > > Many websites use PHP to send email via SMTP.

It works, when I enable “Less secure apps” for my Gmail! Thank you very much for the advice 🙂 Do you think that it would be no problem when we use the business outlook email? My Gmail was just a test. ---

You are welcome, glad to have helped! And yes, I’m sure it’ll work with your other email accounts too. ---
