Cant Send EMAIL!

[arma]

Hello everybody,

I can not send email, i use purebasic own sample code inside the help. But it gives error!
Do i need to setup any mail client? Such as thunderbird or outlook etc.
My system is clean. There is no mail client software.
Is this the what i need? Or i have any thing else to solve this situation.

*P.S. I use Purebasic v5.60 + Ubuntu

I could not get it to work with the smtp.free.fr mail server in the example, but it did work when I used a different one (Mailjet). I tested it on Windows 10 and Ubuntu. I do not have any mail clients setup.

I use my gmail account... And Orginal sample inside help... Ofcourse i change the variables for may gmail account... But it gives "0"...

Code: Select all

  InitNetwork()

  ; Be sure to use the right login and right password
  ;
  Login$ = "yourlogin"
  If CreateMail(0, Login$ + "@gmail.com", "Hello")
    AddMailRecipient(0, "youraddress@youraddress.com", #PB_Mail_To)

    Debug SendMail(0, "smtp.gmail.com", 587, #PB_Mail_UseSSL, Login$, "password")
  EndIf

I tried your code with my Gmail account. At first, I had the same results as you, but when I added the #PB_Mail_Asynchronous flag to the SendMail command, it worked.
