Sending Email using Python

How to send Email using simple Python Codes.
How we can send emails without using any application or browser. we will use simple python codes.
To write code open your Python text editor, Open it, create a new python file and Name it.
For sending email we will use a python library called smtplib.

So first we have to install smtplib (if already not installed)
To install smtplib go to Text editor terminal or CMD and type this simple command

Pip install secure-smtplib
Press enter

Go to the editor and import smtplib, type Import Smtplib then
creat variable with a name for example Mail, (this variable can be created with any name I am using Mail here.

Mail = smtplib.SMTP(smtp.gmail.com, 587)

Smtp (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used for sending email over the internet, and smtp.gmail.com is the smtp server address of Gmail because I am using Gmail Account so I will use smtp address of Gmail Server with its port number 587.

Mail.ehlo()
Mail.Starttls()
Ehlo and starttls are both protocols used for server connection, it will establish a connection with Gmail Server.

To login to the Gmail we will use Gmail Account.
Mail .login()

Now to Send email we will use Mail.sendmail.
Mail.sendmail (This segment of our code will need 3 types of arguments,
these are
1. Sender Email Address,
2. Receiver Email Address and
3. Message.

Authentication Error may be because of wrong Email or Password, or may be because of Google default setting which not allowing less secure application to send mail from Gmail.
So we have to change that setting in Manage Google Account.

So, this is how we can send and automate sending emails with python.

That’s all for now.
