I am not able to send patches using git send-email. This is my .gitconfig file 

[user]
    email = my-email
    name = my-name
[sendemail]
    smtpencryption = tls
    smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
    smtpuser = my-email
    smtpserverport = 587
    smtppassword = mypassword

Here mypassword is my google account's app password and not the real one. What is wrong in the configuration?

This is how I am trying to use the command :

git send-email 0001-patch-name.patch

This is the error:

Unable to initialize SMTP properly. Check config and use --smtp-debug. VALUES: server=smtp.gmail.com encryption=tls hello=madhuparna-HP-Notebook port=587 at /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email line 1506.

I finally figured out, the problem was not with the configuration but it was because of firewall issues.
