Hi, Guys!
Still working on trying to run Module 3 Unit 2: Motion Detector with Photo Capture and Email Notifications.
Using ESP32-CAM AIThinker and Arduino 1.8.19.
Thanks to Sara I got the LittleFS issue resolved and was able to compile and upload the code.  That’s where I ran into this problem: #### Error, NTP server time synching timed out,  Here’s an example of the full output:

Hi.
I’m not sure.
I found a similar issue here: https://github.com/mobizt/ESP-Mail-Client/issues/247
It seems a problem with your internet connection…
Either way, can you try a different version of the library?
I use version 2.7.0 and never had that problem.
Go to Sketch > Libraries > Manage Libraries, search for ESP Mail Client, and try to install a different version.
Check if that works with a different version.
 
Regards,
Sara

It seems that some library update broke our code.
I’ll have to take a look into that.
For now, I’ll mark this issue as resolved.
If you need further help, you just need to open a new question in our forum.
 
Regards,
Sara
