If you get hundreds of test email in your inbox, don't get disturbed! Be happy to know that hundreds of people implemented what they learned here... :) As always, Corey, you are one of the best in teaching python. Thanks for this contribution.

Thank you, for putting out a video of something so useful that many Pythonistas ask.

[officesuperhero]

As always, another great video chuck full of practical tips. I have never seen a video that you made that I felt was useless or poorly made. Your videos are always top notch and the best.

[johnweller]

Your videos are my lifeline!! I am a retired programmer trying to learn Python. I've not used any other language apart from FoxPro since using Pascal 30 years ago.

Thanks so much Corey! It's such a nice feeling to get all the code working and follow along. I really appreciate the list of contacts idea at the end, it seems so logical to do it that way and what can I say, I'm a big fan of logic! :)
Thanks again! I'm loving your content and explanations.

Corey, thank you very much for this video. It's extremely clear, fast pace, super useful. Thanks mate!

[sageedwards]

For anyone that had trouble, I changed my port number from 587 to 25 and it fixed the 'gaierror' for me. Also huge thanks to you Corey!! Awesome, streamlined content.

[mijimelon]

thank you. you explained everything perfectly line by line and argument by argument

[anglerfish]

What I like about this is, eventhough the code is solid it didnt work untill I understood what I was doing. Thanks for that. That is a valuable lesson

[harsh]

Thanks a lot helped me generate automatic email notifications in my web scraping project !!
PS- Puppy is so cute :D

[johangodinho]

Thanks a lot mate, I appreciate the effort you have put into making this video so easy to understand while also meeting the target of the intended title of the video.

So once again thanks a lot cus you made my day and all the best for the growth of your channel :))))

@Corey Schafer
Thanx for posting such a comprehensive vid. None of the other videos on email via Python touched on Google settings regarding 2-step or TLS.

[aakashjana]

I implemented it my flask back-end for sending automated mails to those who subscribe 😎. Thanks a lot Corey for this fantastic video.

[shubhamhire]

This was such an amazing video, it took me a lot of time to pause and then understand and then apply it to the code, but it just made me learn so much, you are such an amazing teacher sir, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.🙏🙏🙏

[soumitralahiri]

Excellent video Corey! The steps were very clearly explained and worked without any issues. One question - the example that you provide is for including multiple attachments to a single email; however, if I wish to include the list of attachments to individual emails (one attachment per email), what would be the best way to proceed? I have looked this up in details and not found a satisfactory solution. Will greatly appreciate your help with this.
