      VIKUNJA_MAILER_HOST: smtp.gmail.com
      VIKUNJA_MAILER_PORT: 465
      VIKUNJA_MAILER_USERNAME: example@gmail.com
      VIKUNJA_MAILER_PASSWORD: password

VIKUNJA_MAILER_ENABLED: true
  VIKUNJA_MAILER_FORCESSL: false
  VIKUNJA_MAILER_AUTHTYPE: plain
  VIKUNJA_MAILER_FROMEMAIL: [same as username]
  VIKUNJA_MAILER_HOST: send.one.com

VIKUNJA_MAILER_PORT: 587

I had try now:

VIKUNJA_SERVICE_ENABLEEMAILREMINDERS: 1
VIKUNJA_MAILER_ENABLED: 0
VIKUNJA_MAILER_FORCESSL: 1
VIKUNJA_MAILER_HOST: smtp.gmail.com
VIKUNJA_MAILER_PORT: 587
VIKUNJA_MAILER_USERNAME: xxxxx@gmail.com
VIKUNJA_MAILER_PASSWORD: xxxxxxx

It’s a command to test if the api is properly configured to send mails. Check it out in the docs: CLI | Vikunja

To run it in docker, the full command would look something like this:

docker exec <name of the vikunja api container> /app/vikunja/vikunja testmail you@email.com

The result:

2022/12/15 22:00:04 No config file found, using default or config from environment variables.

I had search how to solve this issue and I have discovered this article. I think I’m in the right way, no? Less Secure Apps

Okay, great! It’s work!

I’m just following this video:

If that can help:
GOogle don’t like the “original” password for Less Secure Apps.

Then, you need to create a “fake password” (I explain like I think :slight_smile: ) like in the video.

How I have set the mail in the docker-compose:

  VIKUNJA_SERVICE_ENABLETASKATTACHMENTS: 1
  VIKUNJA_SERVICE_ENABLEREGISTRATION: 0
  VIKUNJA_SERVICE_ENABLEEMAILREMINDERS: 1
  VIKUNJA_MAILER_ENABLED: 1
  VIKUNJA_MAILER_FORCESSL: 1
  VIKUNJA_MAILER_HOST: smtp.gmail.com
  VIKUNJA_MAILER_PORT: 587
  VIKUNJA_MAILER_USERNAME: xxxxxx@gmail.com
  VIKUNJA_MAILER_PASSWORD: password.app.like.the.video

Thank you very much for your precious hint @kolaente

Have a nice day and thank you very much again!
