Hello @david-vazquez

Sorry to ask but:

1. Did you create a dedicated password for your Gmail account at [this link](https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords)? You cannot use the normal Gmail credentials, especially if you are using 2FA.

2. If you have multiple Elasticsearch nodes, did add the command `bin/elasticsearch-keystore add xpack.notification.email.account.gmail_account.smtp.secure_password` on all nodes?
