R send.mail
You're looking to send an email using Python!
The smtplib
library in Python provides a way to send emails using a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server. Here's a basic example of how to send an email using Python:
import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
def send_email(subject, message, from_addr, to_addr, password):
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = from_addr
msg['To'] = to_addr
msg['Subject'] = subject
body = message
msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.login(from_addr, password)
text = msg.as_string()
server.sendmail(from_addr, to_addr, text)
server.quit()
subject = "Test Email"
message = "This is a test email sent using Python."
from_addr = "[email protected]"
to_addr = "[email protected]"
password = "your_email_password"
send_email(subject, message, from_addr, to_addr, password)
In this example, we're using Gmail's SMTP server to send the email. You'll need to replace [email protected]
and your_email_password
with your actual Gmail address and password.
Before running this code, make sure to allow less secure apps to access your Gmail account. You can do this by going to your Google Account settings and enabling the "Less secure app access" option.
Also, be aware that storing your email password in plain text is not recommended for security reasons. You should consider using a more secure method to store and retrieve your password.
If you're using a different email provider, you'll need to use their SMTP server and settings instead.
