Send eMail

[LorinM]

The CDO mail source code I have used in the distant past worked well but not now.

Is there come code now that will work

I used to send source code back home while on a trip.
That way I had full control of compressing and encrypting my code for the trip over the net.

with gMail, you have to get one of their 16-digit codes to run Less-Secure Apps....see below

Go to this website for help to set up 16-digit passcode for each app.

Above link came from this website:

https://support.google.com/accounts/.../6010255?hl=en
(Copy/paste the path to generate the code)
Go to Security
Then select App passwords to generate the code.
Generate App Password (Must have 2-Step Verification set to ON.)

Use that password when you set up your gMail login with your program.

you can also use winsock to send an email you need to look up the smtp docs. i made a simple one years back you can get some ideas from

It doesn't matter which method you use to implement SMTP (Winsock or CDO or something else). This is an authentication issue and the only solution that works nowadays is to create an "App Password" like Sam described above.
