SMTPServerDisconnected - when trying to integrate a mail.ru account with Django?

Question

Django

I'm trying to connect a mail.ru account to a Django project for sending service messages. If you try to send a message through this mail, the site just freezes and takes a long time to load, sometimes giving the error SMTPServerDisconnected - connection lost unexpectedly.

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.mail.ru'
EMAIL_PORT = 465
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'myemailpassword'

Answer 1

You need not myemailpassword but the application password!
