Send email yahoo matlab
Here is an example of how to send an email using MATLAB and a Yahoo email account:
Step 1: Set up your email account
- Go to your Yahoo email account and enable less secure apps. This is required for MATLAB to send emails using your Yahoo account.
- Note down your email address and password.
Step 2: Create a MATLAB script
- Open MATLAB and create a new script by clicking on "File" > "New" > "Script".
- Name the script (e.g., "send_email_yahoo.m").
- Copy the following code into the script:
% Set up email account email_address = '[email protected]'; email_password = 'your_email_password'; smtp_server = 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com'; port = 587;
% Set up email message subject = 'Test email from MATLAB'; body = 'This is a test email sent from MATLAB using Yahoo email account.';
% Send email msg = email_message(subject, body); send_email(email_address, email_password, smtp_server, port, msg);
Replace `your_email_address` and `your_email_password` with your actual Yahoo email address and password.
**Step 3: Run the script**
* Save the script by clicking on "File" > "Save" or pressing Ctrl+S.
* Run the script by clicking on the "Run" button or pressing F5.
* MATLAB will send an email using your Yahoo email account.
**Code explanation**
The code uses the `email_message` function to create an email message with a subject and body. The `send_email` function is used to send the email using the Yahoo SMTP server.
Here is the complete code:
```matlab
function send_email(email_address, email_password, smtp_server, port, msg)
% Set up email connection
conn = net.createConnection('smtp', smtp_server, port);
conn.username = email_address;
conn.password = email_password;
% Send email
conn.send(msg);
conn.quit();
end
function msg = email_message(subject, body)
% Create email message
msg = email.Message;
msg.Subject = subject;
msg.Body = body;
end
Note: Make sure to replace the placeholders (your_email_address
and your_email_password
) with your actual Yahoo email address and password. Also, be aware that using less secure apps may compromise the security of your email account.
