How to setup flask mail with zoho mail

I have tried what I can think of but can't get the email to be sent from my application using flask-mail with Zoho mail.

I've tried setting up an app password and I have tried the following examples of configuration using some of the information from their site:

https://www.zoho.com/mail/help/pop-access.html

app.config['MAIL_SERVER'] = 'smtp.zoho.com' 
app.config['MAIL_PORT'] = 465 
app.config['MAIL_USE_SSL'] = True 
app.config['MAIL_USERNAME'] = '[email protected]' 
app.config['MAIL_PASSWORD'] = 'XXXXXXXXXXXX'

app.config['MAIL_SERVER'] = 'smtp.zoho.com' 
app.config['MAIL_PORT'] = 587 
app.config['MAIL_USE_TLS'] = True 
app.config['MAIL_USERNAME'] = '[email protected]' 
app.config['MAIL_PASSWORD'] = 'XXXXXXXXXXX'

I would expect to be able to send an email using flask-mail with my custom domain which is setup with zoho.

For secure access head on to general setting on Zoho mail(https://mail.zoho.com/zm/#settings/general)
My account>Security Questions

Application-Specific Passwords > Generate new password
name your app. It'll give you a password

export MAIL_PASSWORD=<generated-password>

then in config.py

import os
MAIL_PASSWORD = os.environ.get('MAIL_PASSWORD')

And when you use TLS Zoho on time of writing this uses the port 587\

Check which host of Zoho you are registered with, if you are based in Europe you will have to edit the MAIL_SEVER parameter to:

app.config['MAIL_SERVER']  = 'smtp.zoho.eu'

This should solve the SMTPAuthenticationError.
