I don't use gmail anymore for some time, but as far as I know, you have to set an "app password" or something like that. Did you set that? Because it won't work with your normal user password.
Also, you could check the logs Vikunja produces to see what the problem is. Is it really a timeout or maybe something else?
I was under the impression that Google retired the "app password" workflow and moved to Gmail API within Google Cloud. I have the API set up and that's what I'm using in the Vikunja configs but like I mentioned in the post, at this point I don't care if its Gmail or something else. I just need the email functionality to work so I will use whatever service works well with Vikunja.
