SMTP help needed

Have you tried it without th attachment?

1. You should handle the MessageSent event. It will allow you to check whether the message was sent successfully or not. If success is False then you should check LastException and find the error.
2. For Gmail you should add: SMTP1.UseSSL = True.

Cannot send email with attachment.

I am able to send email using the following code as long as the "Mailer.AddAttachment" line is commented out. If the Mailer.AddAttachment line is in then no email goes through. Also, I never see any results from my "SMTP_MessageSent", whether or not the email sends successfully.

Sub btnSend_Click
Dim Mailer As SMTP
Mailer.Initialize("smtp.gmail.com", 465, "example@gmail.com", "password", "SMTP_MessageSent")
Mailer.UseSSL = True
Mailer.To.Add("SendTo@gmail.com")
Mailer.Subject = ("Mail Test")
Mailer.Body = "This is the message body."
' ***** Mailer.AddAttachment(File.DirDefaultExternal & newfolder.ToString, "zipped.zip")
Mailer.Send
End Sub

Sub SMTP_MessageSent(Success As Boolean)
Log(Success)
If Success Then
ToastMessageShow("Message sent successfully", True)
Else
ToastMessageShow("Error sending message", True)
Log(LastException.Message)
End If
End Sub


Thank you for the help!

The EventName parameter should only include the prefix value. You should change it to:

Now you should check the error message.

sending mail using Gmail error

hi,

something is not working right - i am trying to send email using Gmail, with or without attachment it generates error: java.net.SocketTimeoutException

why? what is wrong with my code? is there any other way to do it?

another thing is that it takes very long time...

thanks,

this is my code:


Sub SMTP_MessageSent(Success As Boolean)
Dim s As String

Log(Success)
If Success Then
ToastMessageShow("Message sent successfully", True)
Else
ToastMessageShow("Error sending message", True)
s = LastException.Message
Log(s)
End If
End Sub

Sub SMTP_SendMail(sTO As String, sCC As String, sBCC As String, mSubj As String, mBody As String)

Dim Mailer As SMTP

Mailer.UseSSL = True

Mailer.Initialize("smtp.gmail.com", 465, SMTP_UserName, SMTP_Password, "SMTP")


Mailer.To.Add(sTO)
Mailer.CC.Add(sCC)
Mailer.BCC.Add(sBCC)

Mailer.Subject = mSubj
Mailer.Body = mBody

'Mailer.AddAttachment(fPath, fName)

Mailer.Send

End Sub

no one ??

BTW - using another SMTP server works just fine - it seems to be Gmail only...

resolved by myself using a russian example here
