Email between me@gmail.com - admin@mydomain.com work fine (both ways)
Not receiving the email from the Discourse install. Cannot activate.

in the app.yml:
developer emails admin@mydomain.com
smtp server: mail.privateemail.com

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure that the mail server password is the same as your login password…?

For namecheap it isn’t, no.

A good step to test any mail account is to connect it to mail.app, windows mail or similar.
