  2. OnSendError(): Triggered when an error occurs while sending the email.

Usage:

To use the Mail component in your App Inventor 2 app, follow these steps:

  1. Drag and drop the Mail component from the Palette onto your app's screen.
  2. Set the To, Subject, and Body properties using the Designer or the Blocks Editor.
  3. Use the Send() method to send the email when the user clicks a button or performs some other action.
  4. Handle the OnSendComplete() and OnSendError() events to respond to the outcome of the email sending process.

Here's an example of how you might use the Mail component in your app:

// Send an email when the user clicks a button
Button1.Click :: SendEmail

// Define the email properties
Mail1.To = "[email protected]"
Mail1.Subject = "Hello from my app!"
Mail1.Body = "This is a test email sent from my app."

// Send the email
Mail1.Send()

// Handle the OnSendComplete event
Mail1.OnSendComplete :: ShowToast("Email sent successfully!")

// Handle the OnSendError event
Mail1.OnSendError :: ShowToast("Error sending email: " + Mail1.Error)

Note that the Mail component requires a valid email account to send emails. You can configure the email account settings in the App Inventor 2 settings menu.
