Everything works perfectly on my local machine, but I’ve run into several issues after deploying the app using Render (free tier):</p> <p>With Nodemailer, I configured all the necessary environment variables, but after deployment, I get a timeout error.</p> <p>I tried switching to Resend (free tier), but it only sends emails to its dashboard—not to the actual user’s email.</p> <p>Then I moved to Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) free tier. It worked locally, but after deployment, it stopped sending emails entirely.</p> <p>Finally, I tried SendGrid (free tier). I signed up successfully, but when I try to log in, it says “incorrect password”—even though I’m sure the password is correct. I attempted a password reset and accessed the dashboard, but the login issue persists.</p> <p>Has anyone faced similar problems with email services after deployment? I’d really appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this.</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> node express email deployment
