Hello, I’m trying to use an Arduino Uno Wifi Rev2 Board with a Ublox W102 wifi/bluetooth module to send emails. However, whenever I try to send an email, the board connects to wifi but says “0 2 Could not connect to mail server.”
So far, I’ve tried uploading the google.com443 certificate, set the gmail account to allow for less secure app access, enabled IMAP access from the gmail account, and connecting to my phone’s hotspot to check if something in the wifi was blocking it.
Why is it still not connecting to the mail server? Any help would be appreciated!
#include "Arduino.h" #include <EMailSender.h> #include <WiFiNINA.h> uint8_t connection_state = 0; uint16_t reconnect_interval = 10000; const char *ssid = "WiFi SSID"; const char *password = "WiFi Password"; EMailSender emailSend("Sender email (That has less security settings on)", "Sender email password"); uint8_t WiFiConnect(const char *nSSID = nullptr, const char *nPassword = nullptr) { static uint16_t attempt = 0; Serial.print("Connecting to "); if (nSSID) { WiFi.begin(nSSID, nPassword); Serial.println(nSSID); } uint8_t i = 0; while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED && i++ < 50) { delay(200); Serial.print("."); } ++attempt; Serial.println(""); if (i == 51) { Serial.print("Connection: TIMEOUT on attempt: "); Serial.println(attempt); if (attempt % 2 == 0) Serial.println( "Check if access point available or SSID and Password\r\n"); return false; } Serial.println("Connection: ESTABLISHED"); Serial.print("Got IP address: "); Serial.println(WiFi.localIP()); return true; } void Awaits() { uint32_t ts = millis(); while (!connection_state) { delay(50); if (millis() > (ts + reconnect_interval) && !connection_state) { connection_state = WiFiConnect(); ts = millis(); } } } void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); connection_state = WiFiConnect(ssid, password); if (!connection_state) // if not connected to WIFI Awaits(); // constantly trying to connect EMailSender::EMailMessage message; message.subject = "Email"; message.message = "Email Sent!"; EMailSender::Response resp = emailSend.send("Recipient email account", message); Serial.println("Sending status: "); Serial.println(resp.status); Serial.println(resp.code); Serial.println(resp.desc); delay(1000); } void loop() { } -
Hi r0vert,
I retry to send message with my MKR 1010 WiFi and I send email without problem after add google.com to this example
the only difference is that I generate an application password like described here.

Hi Renzo,
I created an application password like you said and replaced the sender gmail account’s password with it in the code, but I’m still seeing error code 2. I also tried reuploading the google.com certificate.
Is it because I’m using a W102 wifi module or should this library work for any board compatible with WiFiNINA?

Hi Renzo,
I’ve been fiddling around with the Arduino and found that the wifi board is able to ping smtp.gmail.com and its port 465. Since my app password settings says that the password hasn’t been used, does this mean that the problem has to do with the logging in?
Also, for the gmail account being used for sending the emails, is there any other specifications it needs or can it just be any gmail account with less secure access on and app password?

I think that this is the same code that I uploaded before, so if the code worked for you does that mean there’s something wrong with the google account/board?

Hi Renzo,
I have been able to successfully connect to my phone’s hotspot but it still doesn’t connect to the mail servers, although my phone is connected to the same wifi as the one I’ve been using. If the Wifi network is blocking it, would it still be blocked on the hotspot?
If not, would that narrow it down to the google account? I followed the instructions shown for creating the 2-step verification and application password.

Hi,
the debug message say to us that the micro controller can’t communicate with google, so (if not work with hot spot also) probably there is a problem with the certificate you add to the device.Try to update firmware and the add google.com to the list and request to upload the certificate with the button in the bottom of popup.

When I upload the google.com certificate, the popup says that it was successfully downloaded. Not sure if this is supposed to happen, but afterwards my device can’t connect to the internet until I unplug and replug it back in after uploading the certificate. If it says that it was successfully put on the device, is it there indefinitely?

Hi Renzo,
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the WiFiNINA library and reuploading the certificate, but it still gives me the error code 2. I also tried to download the most recent version of WiFiNINA, but to no avail. What else could be wrong with it?

Hi r0vert,
sorry but the problem can be your network or the certificate, I don’t know how to help you better.
Bye Renzo-
Hi check the last post and tell me if you do that configuration.

Hi Renzo,
I’ve the same problem with the same hardware. Everything else is different (my network, my google acc…). I develop esp8266 as well, but there your code is working fine. I think the problem is around WiFiNINA :-(.
-
Mmmm… It’s very strange, Arduino had told me that WiFiNINA of my MKR 1010 It’s the same of Arduino Uno Wifi Rev2, but now I’m quiete sure that It isn’t true.
I try to re-write to It and I put the answer here.

Hi,
In my case, It works with all versions of WiFiNINA, updated every time.
Check the configuration on the last post
And give me feedback.
Thanks Renzo -

Hi all,
can you send me the configuration of EMailSenderKey.hYou must have something like this
#ifndef DEFAULT_EMAIL_NETWORK_TYPE_ESP8266 #define DEFAULT_EMAIL_NETWORK_TYPE_ESP8266 NETWORK_ESP8266 #define DEFAULT_INTERNAL_ESP8266_STORAGE STORAGE_SPIFFS #endif #ifndef DEFAULT_EMAIL_NETWORK_TYPE_ESP32 #define DEFAULT_EMAIL_NETWORK_TYPE_ESP32 NETWORK_ESP32 #define DEFAULT_INTERNAL_ESP32_STORAGE STORAGE_SPIFFS #endif #ifndef DEFAULT_EMAIL_NETWORK_TYPE_ARDUINO #define DEFAULT_EMAIL_NETWORK_TYPE_ARDUINO NETWORK_WiFiNINA // substitute from the default config NETWORK_W5100 #endif #ifndef DEFAULT_EMAIL_NETWORK_TYPE_ARDUINO_SAMD #define DEFAULT_EMAIL_NETWORK_TYPE_SAMD NETWORK_WiFiNINA #endifUNO WiFi It isn’t a SAMD device It’s an ATMEGA and you must select backward UNO compatibility.
Please test It, I don’t have the board, but I hope that It’s work.
Bye Renzo

I didnt change anything in the EMailSenderKey apart from the debug, mine looks like this:

OK – I think I found a fix – for at least me anyway, I noticed something on this site:
This bit:
- Upload “Firmware Updater” sketch to Arduino (Examples->WifiNINA->tools->Firmware Uploader)
- From IDE menu, Tools-> Wifi 101/ WifiNINA Firmware Updater
- In Updater, click “Add domain”, then copy and paste in the server which you want to connect to, click OK
- Previous step tends to make wifi module not work, to fix: Click Update Firmware (takes a while).
So I tried that way round, basically re-uploading the firmware after adding certificate….and now it works?!?!
