Send email on labview using the Gmail Server (TLS)

[minitor]

While I haven't had any luck freeing up the attachment file by closing the references, I have been able to free it up by using AttachmentCollection Dispose().  I'm not sure if this will do anything for potential memory leaks, but it does allow other programs to access the attachment file after the email is sent.

smercurio_fc,

An error from what, doing what? You're replying to a post that's many months old, and you haven't indicated what you're doing or what your code looks like.

Many servers will block ping request, but for now, smtp.gmail.com is not. If you're getting a request timeout when trying to ping smtp.gmail.com then it can be (a) the server wasn't available for some reason; or (b) your routers were blocking the ping packet; or (c) one of the many routers between you and smtp.gmail.com was "off-line" temporarily.

when i run this VI it gives me the Error and i don't know why, and i saw one of your prevoius replies and you said try to  ping smtp.gmail.com.

When I tried it the email was send and received. Does this occur with only Gmail?

    I appreciate if you could send a PDA version of gmail.vi.

Hi manumohannair,

This will not be simple, as the .NET constructor nodes do not appear to be supported in the LabVIEW Mobile module at present. In fact, Microsoft does not have full support for the .NET framework.

There is a .NET Compact Framework which may or may not include the functions I call in this code, but even if it did, you would have to write a standad DLL wrapper and use the Call Library Function node since there is no way to call .NET Constructors directly from LabVIEW.

You may be able to find some code that will do this without going through .NET, but thus far I haven't seen any.

Eric,

Thanks for the help.

I was not successful in running the SMTP example provided for PDA Mobile,though I used the same POP and SMTP settings to send mail through my native mobile e-mail client.

I got following error message from E-Mail server:

"553 Sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts."

Listing the arbitration between PDA SMTP  VI and e-mail server.

Message to server :

1. HELO 10.20.5.32
2. MAIL FROM:<info@goflexteq.com>
3. RCPT TO:<info@goflexteq.com>
4. DATA
5. To: info@goflexteq.com
   From: info@goflexteq.com
   Subject: Project details  Test.
6. QUIT

 Response from Server:

1. 220 smtpauth02.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net ESMTP.
2. 250 smtpauth02.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net.
3. 250 Sender accepted.
4. 553 Sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts.

 I would really appreciate if any of you could interpret this arbitration and let me know waht the issue is.Attaching the VI I used for this communication.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Manu Mohan,

Is your email server secure?  The SMTP VIs in that example do not allow you to connect to a secure SMTP server.

[manumohannair]

"This server requires a secure connection(SSL)" option in my outlook settings is disabled.

Does that mean my server is not a secure SMTP server ?

Thanks,

Manu
