Email node not functionning anymore

[Barzoi]

Hello,

I’m using Send Email node for several months to send email from different email addresses.

Today, one of my workflow has failed to send the email after several minutes trying.

When I check, the error message says “The connection timed out, consider setting the ‘Retry on Fail’ option in the node settings”.

As it didn’t work after several tries, I wanted to check my credential and maybe try to add a new one to test, but even this part has a problem:

As you can see, I can’t add (or check) credential information.

So, I can’t send email nor create or modify credentials within the node.

Am I the only one with this problem ?

I have no clue about the reason it suddenly stops, and the version update hasn’t fixed the problem.

I self-host my n8n instance (Core).

Hey, does your instance run in Docker? Are all types of credentials affected? Like Google, etc.

See if your instance has an env variable N8N_DEFAULT_LOCALE set. If set, remove and restart the instance. There is an issue with this variable, which causes issues with some credentials.

It’s running on a render server, I think it’s like Docker.
It was the only credential I can’t access but it’s ok now thanks to jabbson advice.

Nevertheless, it is still not working : the node runs during a long time and stop because the connection timed out. And I don’t know why, I tried with several different credentials with the same problem.

I’m having the same issue now. Do we have a fix now?

[Barzoi]

Unefortunately not.
I found an other way to replace temporary the email node (I send may with MailJet).
I have some leads about the cause, but haven’t found how to fix it.
