Heroku not sending email with Gmail SMTP

Question

The app works everything, I\'m trying to use Confirmable with Devise, on my Rails app it says that the email was sent, but I never receive it. I\'m configuring it with Gmail

Answer 1

You have to check two important things when you want to send emails via Gmail smtp:

1. Your apps configuration:

   • host: smtp.gmail.com
   • port: 587 or 465 (587 for tls, 465 for ssl)
   • protocol: tls or ssl
   • user: YOUR_USERNAME@gmail.com
   • password: YOUR_PASSWORD

2. The given Gmail account settings:

   • If you've turned on 2-Step Verification for your account, you might need to enter an App password.
   • Without 2-Step Verification:
     1. Allow less secure apps access to your account.
     2. Visit http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and sign in with your Gmail username and password.
