I'm exploring tutorials to create a Python application that sends emails. I've set up a dedicated Gmail account for this purpose, but it feels like an endless obstacle course just to properly configure it. I want to set up my Raspberry Pi to take photos at specific intervals and email them to my wife. Are there simpler email servers available for this project that won't overwhelm me with complex configurations? It seems like small programming projects are getting more complicated these days!

You could consider building your own email server, but it comes with its own set of challenges, especially regarding security risk. Just keep in mind that your network could be vulnerable if not set up correctly.
Isn't that a bit risky? I'm worried about exposing my network.
