I don’t know of any physical printer possibility with Homey… The email sender still works with other non-Gmail smtp providers. I have a Strato domain with email, and that still works. Test using my old hotmail account also worked ![Screenshot_20220729-215804_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/9/a9b8ac8b7825e13b1f7a9f12a5686d09514a77d3.jpeg) ---

Will try outlook, have’nt done outlook yet. Has been going on for 3 days with different variants and mail servers, but none of the variants have worked in Flow. Also reinstalled the app. But still no luck getting the app to work in a Flow. NB: worked before, but just stopped a couple of months ago. Testing with the app setting works without problem. ---

I just created a [gmx.com](http://gmx.com) account, I had to enable smtp sending, but after that it also worked fine. > ![Screenshot from 2022-07-29 23-03-18](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/0/40f7842a17217adadc97ea959540e2f699a897d4.png) > I have to say while testing the flow, the flow cards give an error [object Object] after 30s, but the mails are sent anyways within seconds after hitting the test button. > [@GH14](#): > > NB: worked before, but just stopped a couple of months ago. > Testing with the app setting works without problem. I have to ask, sorry about that, but, does the entered email address in the flowcard still receive emails? Maybe they’re sent allright, but just not received anylonger? ---

Is storing these values to a SQL database a possible solution for you? This way you can collect the values with timestamp in a database for later evaluation. If yes =\> [[APP][PRO] MySQL-Client](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-mysql-client/62459) ---

Google is not working for me anymore, will try to change to a new smtp providers. If not, I’m starting to _believe_ my internet provider or there have been an update on my router that are blocking Homey? ---

The ports are not blocked. Testing with email sender setting, and there it’s working. The problem starts when I crating a Flow, and not working there?? ---

It depends on what email address you’ve entered in the flow card I think. Any hidden whitespaces after or in front of the address? I have f.i. Account [123@gmail.com](mailto:123@gmail.com) and Sender address: [123@gmail.com](mailto:123@gmail.com) The flowcard sends to [123@gmail.com](mailto:123@gmail.com) without problems ---

Tested 2 other providers and still get the same error message and no email sent. [object Object] There is one ting I haven’t done yet, power off on the Homey. ---

F\*\*\* H\*\*\* 🙂 You never learn to go for the easy parts first. 😊 Here I have wasted several days with nothing but nonsense. Then it was just a matter of turning it off and on again. Is there an app and routine that restarts Homey every week, I think this is necessary. ---

[https://homey.app/f/tVt8f9](https://homey.app/f/tVt8f9) As you can see you can create a flow to restart Homey. I’m not sure anymore, but I think you’ve to enable the Power User function in the Experimental setting to enable this card. ---

Thanks, it seems to be stable now after restarting once a week 🙂
