Before running this code, replace my_email, password, and the recipient’s email address with your actual email credentials. This code sends a simple email using the Gmail SMTP server, but you may need to enable “Less secure apps” or use an “App Password” in your Gmail settings if you encounter authentication issues.
This Python script demonstrates how to send an email using the smtplib library.
import smtplib
# Your email credentials
my_email = "test@gmail.com"
password = "test123"
# Establish a connection to the SMTP server (Gmail in this case)
connection = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
# Initiate a TLS (Transport Layer Security) connection
connection.starttls()
# Log in to your email account
connection.login(user=my_email, password=password)
# Compose and send the email
connection.sendmail(from_addr=my_email, to_addrs="recipientemail@gmail.com", msg="Hello, World")
# Close the connection
connection.close()
