Problem with notification

[archos]

Hi, Vikunja looks like a cool app, I just have a problem with the notification. I have checked the boxes in the settings Send me a summary of my undone overdue tasks every day and send me reminders for homework via email. But nothing arrives to my email, even in the web app when I set a reminder, no reminder shows up in the notification icon. I don't know what I'm doing wrong anymore, has anyone had a problem with this too? Thank you very much for any advice

Hi @archos,
this is something I have noticed as well (it did work in the past), but I thought I somehow messed this up by trying to enable oauth in Vikunja. I did see the log messages around mails being sent (with you 0 items that would need sending), but did not yet debug this any further.

@archos might be a good idea to ask this at https://community.vikunja.io/

@girish @fbartels Thank you very much for your reply, I will try to ask on Vikunja forum and let you know. I had this in my logs

Hi, I don't know if it was correct, but I tried to send the test email in the web terminal of the application, with the command vikunja testmail <email to send the test mail to>
But no email is coming in. Isn't it possible that the installation misconfigured the email????

@archos yes, by the looks of it this would be a good way to test mail sending. After your last response I had a quick look at the Vikunja forum and found some other mention of mail sending troubles, also one post claiming that this happens after some uptime.
I did try the command you provided, but for me it just hangs and does not terminate on its own. As far as I can see there is also no logging of an attempt to connect the Cloudron mailserver in the Cloudron logs.
I played a bit with the logging parameters in config.yaml, but did not manage to produce any helpful log output in Vikunja regarding mail sending.

@fbartels Well, hopefully we can work it out. I miss the reminders a lot. Thank you very much for your time.

Hi, so I think it's the email configuration. I tried resetting the password and the password reset email won't come through.

@archos @fbartels Think I found the problem. Can you please update and try?

[fbartels]

@girish thanks for the update. After updating the testmail command completes and the test mail also arrived in the inbox.

@girish Great, the e-mail works. Thank you so much for the update
