Answer 1

All the issues I have experienced with sending email ("unable to send email") from Web2Py via Gmail, have been caused by the 2-steps authentication which was enabled on my gmail account.

In order for Web2Py to be able to send email via gmail:

1. Read Google instructions at https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en
2. When logged in with your gmail account, go to https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords?pli=1 and enter the once-only pwd Google provides with the app you intend to allow use the gmail services (I have mentioned "Web2Py")
3. In the model where the mail services are defined - use exactly what's recommended in the W2P book with the new pwd mentioned above - and it works !
