Blocks on SMTP servers

#1 Post by Diego Euri Almanzar »

Dear friends,

I hope they are very well.

Since this year, Gmail does not allow sending emails through SMTP. Microsoft Outlook does allow it, but it crashes very frequently.

What alternative or solution can be applied to be able to use the functions of Xbase, or Express, for sending emails normally?

Servus Diego.

I am using Outlook via office automation. I think Mr. Donnay provided working example in express\Samples\Outlook
You might add and expand usecase for silent sending (parameters) , allowing edit, signatures, message templatest, etc.

Can't say it crashes a lot. All you might need to check if process "outlook.exe" is running before you start automate it.

Also: gmail is still possible but you have to enable 2FA and add password for external application

Also you might need to read this: There are three ways.
