Django email | Gmail | Outlook

[Dev femibadmus]

Google no longer support less seureapps............what next?

is there anyway we can use gmail for Django email?

if no way please send the best lesson for Outlook configuration :)

Unfortunately gmail / outlook although on different time tables will
force oauth2 shortly without end users being able to avoid this.

Thus outlook protocol will not really be an option.

I have researched this with python and alike.

right now there does not seem to be any turn key soultions in python or
fetchmail (i use fetchmail for my older customers)

there seems to be lib's around to handle to oauth2 protocols but not
much doc's on how to use them?


simply put from my research to date is oauth2 does the following

1. you try to connect to the mail server

2. it stops (unless you already have a device id key) and redirects to a
website link for a key

3. once on the website you need to say yes to some kind of auth (trying
to accomodate with http libs)

4. the website returns the key (which you probably should save)

5. from there (thus far research to date) normal python libs will handle
emails thereafter as before.

other option is like with google where you need to signup for a
developer account (or something) that will generate a key for your
account & device at which point other emails to that, only good for 15
devices ??

after that you have to pay?

just a heads up, other non-main stream providers (like myself) have
other devices in place for security and will not force customers to
migrate, maybe look for a local provider?

I will eventually handle oauth2 etc but only when forced to (government
contracts etc)

My suggestion (if you are in unix) is to start up a postfix / dovecot
email server instance where you are in control of the protocol's used?
this way your in complete control of your emails in both directions. Its
a bit of work but leaving things to the main stream providers isn't







Happy Monday !!!

i have solved my issue using the gmailapi anyone having same issue??

[Paul Kudla (SCOM.CA Internet Services Inc.)]

thanks for the hint on gmailapi

i figure they had something outlook has an azure server plugin (same idea)

just an fyi i was taking a more generalized approach to the issue

as an isp i have customers spanning several different providers needing
a more generalized solution.

gmail, office, rogers, aol, yahoo etc etc etc

i generally use fetchmail to handle this but there is no oauth2
avaliable yet and you still need a device key - aka manual setup

I am putting together a python program to handle this the main issue is
getting prompted backwards in html on a new device / connection and
busilding some sort of connect library per provider.

Afterwhich i save the device key in a local database for future use?





Happy Thursday !!!

There are other alternatives if you use Django-Anymail package. Go to https://anymail.dev/en/stable/ to see a list of supported 3rd party email services. Some have free limits for you to use. Good luck!
