Ok I fixed it.
I thought I had allowed unsecure 3rd party apps but apparently that was not
true.
So I allowed that, retried with the following options:
expression = outTemp > 24.0
time_wait = 600
smtp_host = smtp.gmail.com:587
smtp_user = [email protected]
smtp_password = my pw
from = weewx
mailto = receipt
subject = Alarm from weewx!
count_treshold = 10
... and it worked!! Thx for the help :)
