Works on remote server, but not on local server.

Module works great on remote server, but on localhost it gives following error: "Error Sending: Email failed to send. Error: authorization.failed". I have no idea why, everything on local server works just fine.

if you uncomment this line: https://github.com/eleith/emailjs/blob/master/smtp/client.js#L9

this will help provide step by step logging of what is going on in the smtp layer to help you debug the problem

All right! Thanks.

For me the issue was that Google no longer supports username and password only. It now requires 2FA app passwords. See here:
