Send email on labview using the Gmail Server (TLS)

tca-adam,

I would appreciate if you can attach the VI(Please remove your user credentials,but keep common settings as default.).

When I tried with the same VI(address-smtp.gmail.com,Port :465),I got the following error while opening the connection.

"TCP Read in OGIC_SMTP_InitializeServer.vi->OGIC_SMTP - Send Email.vi" with error code 56.

I used the same settings in my outlook and it works fine.

Here is my latest version of the VI.

I have added the ability to attach a screenshot as well as multiple attachments.

I still sometimes see a problem with the attachments not being released if I try to write to a data file that I have just emailed as an attachment.

Happy for anyone with more LV knowledge than me to do some tidying up additions etc.

Make sure you try it on a PC that has minimal security such as firewalls etc or turn them all off until you confirm this works then put your security back in place one application at a time and check for problems. Also try a plain text message first before trying attachments and screenshots.

I can't get it to run on a locked down work PC here, but it works fine on our standalone laptop via our Bigpond account. and wireless router.

Tca-adam,

Thanks for posting the VI .Unfortunately it dn't serve the pupose.

I am trying to use the application in Windows Mobile(with GPRS connectivity to transmit GPS location to an e-mail processing server...) and most of the nodes you used in your application is

not supported by the target. I was trying to use the SMTP OpenG libraries which Mercurio provided.

Please let me know if u had any success with that.

Thannks,

Manu

smercurio,

Attaching the OGIC_SMTP vi's to work with PDA version of Windows Mobile.

Limitations include -No file attach ,SSL and GPRS.

Hopefully the next version will be enhanced with GPRS atleast.

I am not the "keeper" of that library. I don't know if it's still being "kept". You may wish to follow up at the OpenG site. Kevin Valentine was the project lead developer, but I don't know if he's active with the project anymore.

Hi, I`m trying to use the VI to send email in Labview 7.1, but when I wire the constructor node (NetworkCredential) to the input of the property node SmtpClient (Credentials) it indicates a wire conflict. Why is this happening, is there a problem in the System.dll? Should I update it? I browse it from C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

When I run the gmail.vi to Labview 8.5 it works, but when I try to browse the same .dll it says that the .NET runtime engine has autommaticaly updated it.

How could I make this vi work in Labview 7.1?

[smercurio_fc]

LabVIEW 7.1 does not officially support .NET 2.0. In order to properly use .NET 2.0 you need 7.1.1f2.

Hello, I am trying to use ii from a CRIO but I haven't success. Could anz one please help me?

Thanks in advance.

Hi fboteroh,

The Gmail.vi will not work on a CRIO because .net does not support Real-Time.
