SmtpClient: An extension to send emails using SMTP server

Akshun_Tapuriah · April 12, 2021, 12:56pm

First of all, Great Extension!

I wanted to ask - Can I use the same "server" section as you have shown in your example? If not, then how do I get it? (I will be sending through a Gmail Address but the receivers will be different)

Secondly, What exactly do I have to put in the "port" section? Can I use the same as yours in the example?

Thanks.

Yes, if you want to send emails using Google account.
Otherwise your provider should have given it on their documentation page.
For example, Mailgun provides all details here:
https://documentation.mailgun.com/en/latest/user_manual.html#sending-via-smtp

Usually you should use 587.
SSL/TLS - 465
STARTTLS - 587

Ok, Thanks !!

Thanks @vknow360, its working perfectly, except that I am not being able to send images.

I tried two ways- Click image from camera, display it in an Image component, and then use the Image1.Picture block in the images section. However, it shows an error: "IOException while sending message"

I also tried doing it by using a file from the assets, incase it is just some problem with the Image.Picture block. I added it as a text block saying "NameOfTheImage.jpg", i checked the capitalization and the format too, but it still showed the same error: "IOException while sending message".

However, in my app, I need to use the 1st method, click photo from camera and then send it as an attachment. Please tell me if it is possible like this, or what other method can I use?

Here:

Try removing file:// from path.

Akshun_Tapuriah · April 12, 2021, 2:03pm

Thanks, it worked using these blocks:

But then each time I wouldn't be able to specify /storage/emulated/0/Pictures.............. etc.

What should I do for that?

Akshun_Tapuriah · April 12, 2021, 2:04pm

As mentioned in another post, this is not working anymore in Android 11 by me (same as other Email extensions).
Below Android 11 everything is fine, but with Android 11 nothing happens, no errorMessage, no successful Message

PS: In apps already running a certain time (weeks) everything is fine, but not in new compiled apps

vknow360 · September 6, 2021, 9:11am

Maybe you need to set From field same as email.

wikki74 · September 6, 2021, 11:38am

No, same with FROM field filled out...

Nothing happens
