Is anyone able to email pictures using gmail?

Yep same port.
Here is a notify: yaml block from my backups from late last year that was working fine for a long time.

  - name: gmail_email_wife
    platform: smtp
    sender: !secret smtp_sendername
    recipient: 
      - !secret smtp_recipient1
#      - !secret smtp_recipient2
      - !secret smtp_recipient3      
    server: smtp.gmail.com
    port: 587
    timeout: 15
    encryption: starttls
    username: !secret gmail_username
    password: !secret gmail_app_password
    sender_name: Home Assistant

This no longer works for me as I said, no emails are sent. I blew those blocks away and rebuilt it, no change, tried using outlook.com service, no different results.
At this point time I’m just going to leave it alone, I’ve spent WAY too long trying in my amateur way to resolve it. At least Telegram notifications are sending the images fine to my phone, that will have to do for now. Thanks guys.
