Hi, I also got the same issue.
I’m using G-mail with App Password
ERPNext: v12.3.1 (version-12)
Frappe Framework: v12.1.0 (version-12)
frappe.email.queue.flush

I fixed the problem so:
change /home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/frappe/frappe/email/queue.py
in 415 line i’am changed the value
from
smtpserver.sess.sendmail(email.sender, recipient.recipient, message)
to
smtpserver.sess.sendmail(email.sender, recipient.recipient, message.encode('utf-8'))
and restart supervisor
Thank you for your proposed solution. I will have this tested on our system some time soon.
@milkrage can you create a PR for this matter on github?
Best

It’s fix works for you?
I won’t know how to make (right) pull request on GitHub 
A fix was pushed for this some days back: fix(email): safe_encode to avoid smtp ascii encoding issue by Thunderbottom · Pull Request #9190 · frappe/frappe · GitHub.
It is currently merged in develop and v12 hotfix branch
No, I haven’t tested that yet. I might get a chance to do that this afternoon.
Hmm that merge actually isn’t quite right as the tests were fudged to pass.
Based on the first thread somehow that email address was entered all funny? Did someone manually do that or the system did?
this has been fixed in Version 12.4.
Thanks.
