Are you trying to send via Gmail, [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com)?

ECONNREFUSED means the mail server is not listening on either the port or host you have configured, you need to check that you have the correct details for the mail server

I think I have configured it well
For to : I have put the recipient of the email
For Userid : I have put the user and the email sender but the both doesn't works
and for password I have put the pwd of the sender.

Have you .....
## GMail users
If you are accessing GMail you may need to either enable [an application password](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en), or enable [less secure access](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en) via your Google account settings.

I run my own email server for my node-red stuff ☹

I have several devices using gmail accounts to send emails but I always use the 'app password' generated by Google in the Security settings of your [google.com](http://google.com) account. I find the 'enable less secure device' does not always work.

Yes, follow further down the security settings page and create an app password.
Keep a copy of the password for your records.

Hi nke9, the current version of Node-Red is v1.3.5 and current node.js is v12.22.2 or more so you should consider upgrading. Also my version of linux is 5.10.17-v7+.
That might help.

OMG .... upgrade @nke9
This reminds me of my Dad in year 2003 running a 233mhz from mid 90's trying to be online....
ME: "Dad you need a new computer"
DAD: "....but its a Pentium"
But I do have some old node-red pi's out there in the network that never give me trouble
oh god ... I've become my old man

😅
I can't upgrade because it's on an embeded system.
So it's possible that my error doesn't come from the version of Node-RED.

What version of the email do you have installed?
You can find out by going to the palette managed.

The problem is that I can't acces anymore to the palette managed.

You probably need to update npm too.
Make sure you have a full backup then run the install script.
```auto
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered)
```
