Why don't you search the board for 'gmail'? It requires authentication and the built in LabVIEW functions do not provide that. There have been posts that show how to use .NET and OpenG functions.

Yeah I found that example I just figured there may have been a better way.

The reason you cannot simply use the SMTP email functions is because of Authenitcation.

I noticed the email you are trying to use has a .edu extention.

This means the email server probably uses SSL or TLS security, so you would need a little more code to handle that. Here is a thread that discusses this.

Also, do not use TLS (or SSL) security as a default.

This works fine if the email server uses this security, but otherwise will throw an error.


For example, if you use this VI to email someone with an AOL, Yahoo, email, there is no TLS security,

so it will be confused if you try to provide credentials.

 

Its kind of like handing in a typed CV when applying for McDondalds.

(That was probably an uncalled for analogy.... bad Cory)
