Hi All,

A client has asked to send a payslip via email to all employees from the payroll module. This requires sending the email from Gmail to Gmail users. All employees have an email address in their profile, get tagged for an email.

I have tried some examples from this forum and also tested testsmtp.prg. But with no success.

I have provided sendmail() with from/to/subject/message/password/attachment..all the parameters. No success..

Is there a test prg available to share, for me to get the concept clear?

Thnx in advance...

Don't forget .. you will need to "allow less secure apps" to be turned on for the sending gmail account ..

Disable 2-step verification
Open your Google Account.
In the "Security" section, select 2-Step Verification. You may need to login.
Select Disable.
A pop-up window will appear to confirm that you want to disable 2-step verification. Select Disable.

Regards.

Yes, Thank you for your prompt reply..

I already have set these as in my Gmail account....

Allow Less Secure Apps - is ON
2-step verification - DISABLED

I am passing all parameters to sendmail()

SENDMAIL( cFrom, cServer, cTo, cSubject, cMessage, aAttach, cSender, cUser, cPassword, aCc, lHtml, cPort,lNotification , lSSL )

This is the return message : "Unsent message check windows live mail"

LOCAL cFrom := "amriazkhan@gmail.com"
LOCAL cServer := "smtp.gmail.com"
LOCAL cTo := "TO Address"
LOCAL cSubject := "Test message"
LOCAL cMessage := "This is a test message."
LOCAL cSender := "amriazkhan@gmail.com"
LOCAL cUser := "amriazkhan@gmail.com"
LOCAL cPassword := "xxxxxxxx"
LOCAL aAttach := {}
LOCAL aCc := "" //???
LOCAL lHtml := .F.
LOCAL lSSL := .F.
LOCAL cPort := "465"
LOCAL lNotification := .F.
LOCAL lRet := .F.

Any parameter missing..??

Use google Translator, please:

Still no luck with sending email via gmail.com...

Try this:

https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

And

Port: 587 or 995

Check if gmail has "temporarily blocked" account access.

From time to time, or when you create a new account and try to use an external program to transmit email, gmail blocks access for "suspected misuse" and asks for account confirmation.

Generally, to resolve this, go through your browser, log out of your account and try logging in again.

Gmail will ask for confirmation and send a code to your cell phone.

Do the procedure and gmail will grant access again.

It happened a few times with some of our clients, and after I confirmed the account, the program started sending again normally.

Regards.

Thanks ....for your support.

My sender is working fine. Had to turn off google security.

Allow less secure apps: ON

I use the RMAIL.PRG modified by me for use in the company I work for and it works very well. If you wish, I send the link for you to download and test. Greetings.

Regards, saludos.

Thanks Karinha,

Yes, I will appreciate it very much if you can send, me the link of rmail.prg for testing purposes...
As I feel I am doing all my settings right with google security.
