B4J Question Using SMTP

[MarrowZero]

Hello,

I'm attempting to build an app to test if SMTP details are working. I'm troubleshooting a client problem where sending to smtp.office365.com is either taking more than 20 seconds or failing with some message. My plan here is a build a small app that can send 1 msg per minute and log success/failure. This will help cut the problem in half, ie is this a computer, av, network, firewall or Microsoft screwing about (again). The app could be run at another location to again help diagnose the situation.
I did originally started in Powershell and then I thought - why not try in B4X ?!?!

Questions

How to set a timeout for the connection?
- For example if host does not exist or using a different port
- 3 seconds should be enough

How can I log the "raw" responses from the SMTP server?
- For example to see the rejection that the username/password was incorrect
- 220 LO2P123CA0075.outlook.office365.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service ready at Wed, 19 Jan 2022 16:38:43 +0000


How to set the TLS/Cipher version used?


Many thanks for any help

    SMTP.StartTLSMode = True
End Sub

'This event will be called once, before the page becomes visible.
Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
End Sub

'You can see the list of page related events in the B4XPagesManager object. The event name is B4XPage.

@MarrowZero There's no need to invent the wheel since there's better solutions You should better use my B4Xemail Library.

If you want full access to the communication data then you should implement it with sockets.
Example of the more complex StartTLS mode: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...on-tls-socket-to-a-tls-socket.133555/#content
