Send email on labview using the Gmail Server (TLS)

THANG NGUYEN — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 01:21:28 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to using the Google mail server to send email from LabVIEW. I actualy try to use the library of the OpenG OGIC_SMTP. The problem is when talking with the server, I received the message require to do TLS. After sending STARTTLS, I receive this message 220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS. I don't know what I should do next.

Please tell me what is the next step? I do a lot of googling but only the recommend that after TLS is negotiate with the server. But I don't know how to do that.

I highly appriciate any help.

Best Regards,

Thang Nguyen

Hello Nang,

It would us if you could show which code you used and which protocol you (try to) follow!

Hi TonP,

This is my question on OpenG: http://forums.openg.org/index.php?showtopic=170

Could you please take a look at the VI OGIC_SMTP_Main.vi in the internet toolkit at OpenG? http://openg.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=OpenG+Internet+Connectivity+Tools#attachments

You can download at the attachment tab.

Because I still try to modify this function with adding some command, so there is not any vi from myself. That's the reason why I don't have any VI to send you.

Thank you for your patient to answer my question.

I managed to accomplish this fairly easily using the Microsoft .NET Framework. Of course, that means it will only work in Windows for the time being. See the attached gmail.vi.

I have used this gmail VI with decent success. However, when I attach a file, it seems to leave the file open so that I cannot open it elsewhere in the program. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks,

Andy

I assume that if you close all of the refernces you should have no problem:

If possible, could some one please post a version of 'gmail.vi' for LabView 8.2? Thanks!

Very nice example! By the way, you should make sure to close all the .Net references that are opened, or you will consume (leak) lots of memory.

Cheers,

Just to make sure: I didn't write the example. I just resaved it as 8.2 as the user requested.

Thank you for your example, but I got an error.

Did I forgot something?

That looks like a DNS problem at your end. What happens if you try to "ping smtp.gmail.com" at a command line prompt?

Would somebody please save this in Labview 7.1 format? I'm very interested to play with it.

I'm limited as my company is not ready to upgrade my licence at this time

Thank you!

When I use this VI and attach a LabVIEW generated text file to the email, when I try to write to the text file again (In LabVIEW), it is reporting that the file is already open. Error 5.

I then added code to this VI that would send a screenshot via Gmail. When I save the screenshot as a JPG and then attach it to the gmail, the same Error 5 occurs (file apready open) when I try to delete the JPG. Something is not being closed.....

Any clues to what this could be? I was wondering if it had to do with the NET references not being closed as someone else had stated earlier in this thread.

thanks.
