You would probably find that the SMTP provider will block your traffic.

I ran the code sara everything is perfect. How can I make it send the photo every second?

I am trying to also use Firebase library mobizt/Firebase Arduino Client Library for ESP8266 and ESP32@^4.4.14 but I get all kinds of errors. If I run standalone firebase or mobizt/ESP Mail Client@^3.4.19 run fine. It’s only when I merge them. Do you have any hints that may help me?
Thanks in advance

Nice and simple. Thanks a lot. I just wonder how “ESP” from App Password is linked in the code? Any hint will be appreciated

According to my personal tests it sometimes works, but most of the time not because either the ntp servers do not respond (timeout) or the connection to the SMTP server fails. Without changing anything, just unplugging and reconnecting, without even touching the code, it works… sometimes.

Hi Sara,

I’m loving the projects you have on RNT and have worked through several already with good results. I have a question regarding the photo to email sketch(which I have running). Can I manipulate the code in this sketch without causing errors, so that the picture is taken first before the wifi connects and then sends the picture? This is to enable a trigger from an Arduino board to take the picture in the quickest time possible.

Thanks & regards,
Steve

In reply to Barrois.

Hi.
Make sure you’re using the app password and not the email password.
Check the section “Create an App Password”
Regards,
Sara

In reply to Sara Santos. Hi, After tweaking and testing I have found a low rate of success, I have however been capable of receiving a couple of successful emails. Most of the time the software runs until the part where it tries to send the image and then it fails. Every so often it will also have issues connecting to the smtp server
