Email Tool showing Func 'curl_easy_perform' failed, ret = 28, desc = Timeout was reached

Question

Hello Alteryx community, I am facing an issue with Email tool configuration. I am willing to try out this tool to send custom emails, However, I am getting this error from the Alteryx. I tried some of the measures in the community but unfortunately, I am still struck at this point.

I am using following configuration:
SMTP : smtp.gmail.com

Port: 587

Encryption: STARTTLS

Alteryx version: 2024.1

Thank you for any help!!!
