How to Send Emails in Python

In this video I look at how to send emails using Python. I show you how to set up a Gmail account to support this method, demonstrate a simple email, show how to add attachments and then show how to send HTML emails.

🐍 In this video I use Python 3.6.
👍🏼 Feel free to comment with any issues.

When I receive a video from PyTutorials I first click like, then watch the video.

This is awesome! I love how easy it is to do and that no [non-pre-installed] modules are required. Thanks so much for making these tutorials, everyone appreciates them. Is it possible to read emails in Python as well? If so can you please make a video on it? Thanks so much again!

[holycow]

Thank you for sharing this video! it works fine :D

Nice video <3
Also could you make an "How to make a screenshot app/screenshot using python"?
It would be nice
I would integrate it into that keylogger xD

Hi,


Thank you. Your tutorial is clear and straightforward. Question, how do I put the content of a text file (ex. logfile.txt which is located in a certain directory) to the body of the email? Also, how do I add variable to the subject line of the email?


Thanks in advance.

Hello, great video. this my first time viewing your video/tutorials. can you share a tutorial on how to save a video captured from the webcam on a laptop and send it as an attachment as well?

[dbaekd]

@PyTutorials Thank you for the video. I am working on my capstone project and I want to implement this to my code. Right now, I have code for when vibration is detected, it'll print out Motion detected! Basically I want to put this system on top of a laundry machine and when the machine is done, it will send an email. Do you think you can help me?

[יהלמנור]

thanks bro you are making the best videos on python!
can you make video about how to open images?

[jessemair]

Another great video, it's very helpful. Any idea where to close the connection to the attachment. For example, attach_this_file.txt can not be modified after the email has been sent if the script is still running.

Hey, PyTutorials, im stumbling upon an error.


'tuple' object has no attribute 'encode'


Im trying to send a file via email (its a cookie file), but everytime i try to send it i get that error.
It happenes at the part, text = msg.as_string()


As im just starting out with using python, i already tried some solutions, but none have worked.
Thank you for your great videos btw :))

Hey cool video and nice coding. I have copied the exact code and i keep getting the error "TimeoutError: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
"


The prorgam runs for 20 seconds then closes and prints the error above. I have tried disabling firewalls but still nothing, what should i do?

[marcelpohl]

[reemosman]

Eventhough I turned on “less secure app” and when I tried sign-in from a new device and different location, google blocks the sign-in attempt and send me a message “Suspicious sign-in attempt prevented”. Please help. But everything is fine when I tried sign-in from the known device.
