Sending emails

[Adrive]

hi

i am new here. i hope you guys will welcome me.

i want to send some emails, i just read the help file but i think there is nothing about it.

maybe someone can help me to convert this VBS to AutoIt

Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objMessage.Subject = "Example CDO Message"
objMessage.From = "me@my.com"
objMessage.To = "test@paulsadowski.com"
objMessage.TextBody = "This is some sample message text."
objMessage.AddAttachment "c:\temp\readme.txt"
objMessage.Send

Hi Adrive. Welcome to the forums. Enjoy your stay.

As a general rule you'll get the most response here when you try to supply some autoiit code of what you are trying to do. No matter how feeble your attempts might be.

I've made a quick translation of your code myself, but it errors at the Send part.

$objMessage = ObjCreate("CDO.Message") ;variables are recognised by a '$' at the start
With $objMessage ;all the actions in the With...EndWith will be performed on this object
    .Subject = "Example CDO Message"
    .From = "me@my.com"
    .To = "to@me.com"
    .TextBody = "This is some sample message text."
    .AddAttachment("C:\temp\readme.txt") ;not 100% sure this syntax is right
    .Send ;For me this throws an error. 
EndWith

Some documentation indicates that the error could be caused by non-existing e-mail adresses, but it seems odd that would cause a hard crash. I am in a bit of a rush to leave, but perhaps others offer a solution.

This is for outlook.There are SMTP examples too - use the search

Local $olMailItem = 0
    Local $olFormatRichText = 3
    Local $olImportanceLow = 0
    Local $olImportanceNormal = 1
    Local $olImportanceHigh = 2
    Local $olByValue = 1
    Local $olFormatHTML = 2
    Local $olFormatPlain = 1

    $oOApp = ObjCreate("Outlook.Application")
    $oOMail = $oOApp.CreateItem ($olMailItem)
    $oOMail.Save
    With $oOMail
        .To = ("test2@hp.com")
        .Cc = ("test@hp.com")
        .Subject = $subj
        .BodyFormat = $olFormatHTML
        .Importance = $olImportanceNormal
        .HTMLBody = "asdasdasdasd"
        .attachments.add ($FileName3)
        .Send
    EndWith
    $oOApp=0

Welcome Adrive.

First, take a look to help file and search for _INetSmtpMail.

If you need to send attachments, take a look to _INetSmtpMailCom UDF and you will have two things:

1.- You will know how to convert your VBS script to AutoIt.

2.- You will have an easy UDF to send mails with attachments without pull your hair

Cheers,

Thanks for the very warm Welcome, i am beginer but i shall try to learn AutoIt because it seems t be easy and good for daily automation works.

i used _INetSmtpMailCom UDF but it's not working for me.

here is the error which i am getting.

>"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:\Documents and Settings\Adrive\Desktop\AutoIt\email.au3"

### COM Error ! Number: 80020009 ScriptLine: 92 Description:The message could not be sent to the SMTP server. The transport error code was 0x80040217. The server response was not available

here is what i tried

$Username = "Adrive_2531"                    ; username for the account used from where the mail gets sent - REQUIRED

Change your username from "Adrive_2531" to "Adrive_2531@yahoo.com" and try again.

Thanks for posting the example code - this is exactly what I was looking for!
