Python sending mail

Python provides several libraries to send emails. Here are a few popular ones:

smtplib: This is a built-in Python library that allows you to send emails using a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server.
yagmail: This is a popular Python library that provides a simple and easy-to-use interface for sending emails.
email: This is another built-in Python library that allows you to create and send emails.

Here's an example of how to send an email using smtplib:

import smtplib

# Set up the SMTP server
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.login('[email protected]', 'your_password')

# Set up the email message
subject = 'Test email'
body = 'This is a test email sent using Python.'
from_email = '[email protected]'
to_email = '[email protected]'

# Send the email
msg = f'Subject: {subject}\n\n{body}'
server.sendmail(from_email, to_email, msg)

# Close the SMTP server
server.quit()

Here's an example of how to send an email using yagmail:

import yagmail

# Set up the email message
subject = 'Test email'
body = 'This is a test email sent using Python.'
from_email = '[email protected]'
to_email = '[email protected]'

# Send the email
yag = yagmail.SMTP(from_email, 'your_password')
yag.send(to_email, subject, body)

Here's an example of how to send an email using the email library:

import email
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

# Set up the email message
subject = 'Test email'
body = 'This is a test email sent using Python.'
from_email = '[email protected]'
to_email = '[email protected]'

# Create a text message
msg = MIMEText(body)
msg['Subject'] = subject
msg['From'] = from_email
msg['To'] = to_email

# Send the email
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.login(from_email, 'your_password')
server.sendmail(from_email, to_email, msg.as_string())
server.quit()

Note that you'll need to replace [email protected] and your_password with your actual Gmail address and password. Also, make sure to enable less secure apps in your Google account settings if you're using Gmail.

Additionally, you can use other libraries such as python-email or sendgrid to send emails.
