node-red, e-mail Connection timeout

Question

i have a problem to send mails with node-red. Therefor i used a simple flow with timestamp->template->e-mailnode.

If i trigger a timestamp i get the error message:

[error] [e-mail:XXX@gmail.com] Error: Connection timeout

I have no idea how i can search the problem on my system?

Here is my list with the npm packages:

Answer 1

If as the error message implies the connection has timed out, it most likely means that the server the email node is configured to talk to is incorrect or not running a SMTP server
