Troubleshooting
Email isn't working
Email may not be working for a number of reasons, from a misspelled SMTP password to a locked account. The best way to figure out why it's not working is to take a look at the logs. If you're running on Heroku, you can take a look at the logs with heroku logs
. If you're running locally, you should check both the application logs from Flask and the logs from Celery.
If you're using Gmail, there may be a number of reasons why email isn't working. You need to make sure you've enabled access for less secure apps. Sometimes, Gmail will lock your account; if that happens, visiting this link may help. Also, sometimes, you can get a SMTP authentication error from Gmail (that you'll see in the logs), and it'll give you a link to visit using your web browser to unlock your account.
