Using Flask mail

Do I need a paid account to use SMTP settings? If so, which plan would I need?

Thanks in advance.

You can use Google's Gmail SMTP servers from a free plan -- see this help page. From any paid plan, you can use any SMTP server you want. It's worth noting that we don't provide an STMP server, though -- you have to use an external one.

The error says you're code can't find the module flask_mail -- make sure that you installed it for the same Python version / environment that your web app is running.
