Hi

My email node has stopped working.

This is the error message i get.

Error: queryA ETIMEOUT [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com)

I use a Gmail account  
in the beginning it worked. i used allow less supported apps feature

Now i have also tried the app specific password function  
But i still get same error massage.

FYI  
-node red is running on a raspberry pi 3b  
-the email worked for only two days  
-i am not the network admin  
-yes i am new to this 🙂

What can be the problem?  
-something with google  
-something with my local network  
-something with my nodered

Thanks in advance  
JC

Generally this indicates some sort of network problem between the Node-RED server box and gmail server - maybe a proxy problem ? or name resolution ? or ... if you google that error you will find plenty of possible answers.
