local.ERROR: Swift_TransportException: Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com $:stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to tcp://smtp.gmail.com:587 (Connection timed out)

Answer 1

Hello I had the same problem probably your solution is like that, because this helps me to resolved my issue

Create a custom app in you Gmail security settings.

1. Log-in into Gmail with your account
2. Navigate to https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords
3. In 'select app' choose 'custom', give it an arbitrary name and press generate
4. It will give you 16 chars token.` Use the token as password in combination with your full Gmail account and two factor authentication will not be required.

Note: The link in step 2 will work only if you have 2-factor-authentication enabled.
