It seems like google know about the problem but do not know when they will fix it.

I have tried on my PI, ipad, iphone and macbook using chrome and firefox.

thank you for your quick response.
My problem was with the App password.
The E-mail dispatch works with the generated App password.
I didn’t read the relevant text properly.

Kind Regards
Juergen

Hi.
did you create an app password as mentioned in the tutorial?
You must use the app password created and not the actual email password.

Sara

Hi.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I’ll take a look at that subject for future tutorials.
Regards,
Sara

another thing, that seems to have almost no coverage, is to

receive or pull emails

with Python.

Sending emails is most important, but sometimes receiving also, e.g. when to send data to remote Pis or Pi picos for further processing.

Such a client should handle bare text obviously and maybe files as well.

Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion and we’ll definitely be covering this subject for the Raspberry Pi Pico!

Exactly, it will also work in any machine that runs Python scripts.
