How to make interface for email sending.

 

Just send a simple message and attach a file only.

 

The outgoing and incoming server's ip and user name with password is known.

 

Thanks,

What exactly is the problem? You've got the Data Communication>Protocols>SMTP Email palette.

 

Have you even tried to search the forum for 'email' posts?

I am trying to use the 'SMTP email send multiple attachments.vi'.

 

May I know how to input the login user/pw for the email server.

 

Thanks.

The SMTP VIs that come with LabVIEW do not support authentication. If your mail server requires authentication you will need to use an alternate means. For example, you can use the OpenG SMTP VIs or .NET if you're on Windows. Do a search and you'll be able to find both as this issue has come up many times before.

Hi Baji 

 

I found the program sometime cannot send it out, especially the first runup. And no error is given.

 

Is there any timeout setting.

 

If run in buddle in debug mode, seems error never happen.

 

Any suggestion, thanks.

Your question is not clear. Can you please rephrase this? Are you asking whether this can be used with other email servers? Then, yes, it can. Just change the email server name and the authentication credentials.

If it always works when you are running in highlight mode then clearly it is a timing issue and you will need to account for this by inserting wait functions in the appropriate places. Experiment with waits in various places to see what works best. We cannot solve this part for you since it's partially dependent on your network.
