how to send email in kivy?

[Luigi Marongiu]

Hello,

I would like to send an email via kivy. I have followed the tutorial https://realpython.com/python-send-email/ thus I set:

```

import smtplib, ssl

class clockLabel(Label): # the email is sent according to the time with a clock application

sender_email = "my@gmail"

receiver_email = "m...@outlook.com"

message = "Hello, world!"

ctx=ssl.create_default_context()

with smtplib.SMTP_SSL("smtp.gmail.com", 465, context=ctx) as server:

       server.login("my", password)

       server.sendmail(sender_email, receiver_email, message)

```

but I get:

```

     raise SMTPAuthenticationError(code, resp)

 smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, b'5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at\n5.7.8  https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials d20sm7068660edy.9 - gsmtp')

```

Same thing if I use m...@gmail.com in server.login.

How can I send emails in kivy?

Thank you

Did you test in simple Python (i.e. without Kivy) your send email routine?

[James D]

Gmail requires you to enable the ability to send emails from a program like that without two factor authorisation.
Not sure where it is but you have to log into your Gmail account.
Gmail classes it as less secure
Hope you can find it

[James D]

If you search
gmail enable less secure apps
Hopefully will point you in the right direction

I have not tried in a simple python, since Kivy and Python do overlap.
Maybe doing it into a class interferes?
I understood that `server.login("my", password)` or
`server.login("m...@gmail.com", password)` should assure the login...

I would recommend creating a simple test outside of kivy, to ensure you have the email part working.  The integration with Kivy should be trivial.  While I have not sent email, I have accessed web based JSON APIs, XML and used AWS  within kivy without issue.

The issue is almost certainly not related to Kivy.

First get the behavior running with a simple Python script.

As James says for a Google smtp server you have to log in to google and "enable insecure mail access"

Next for the moment forget SSL, use smtplib.SMTP()

I expect SSL will require some additional setup.

You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Kivy users support" group.

To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to kivy-...@googlegroups.com.

[Luigi Marongiu]

I launched the commands from a single python file, and I got this
email from Google:
```
Sign-in attempt was blocked for your linked Google Account
m...@gmail.com
Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your account from
a non-Google app. Google blocked them, but you should check what
happened. Review your account activity to make sure no one else has
access.
```
How can I use smtplib.SMTP?
Thank you

Can you confirm you have enabled less secure apps to access Gmail.
(

[Luigi Marongiu]

I did it now -- I received the email:
```
Access for less secure apps setting has been turned on for your Google
Account m...@gmail.com. If you didn't change it, you should check what
happened.
```
I'll try logging in again later...
Thank you

If it is just a test env the warning message can be ignored.

I use Gmail for Django dev env and I get that all the time.

In production, if you need to set up Gmail, you should do it via a dedicated Gmail app/Gmail API.

I have used it in production only once, a long time ago, and I do not remember all the setup details (also might be obsolete time.now()).

As Robert pointed out you can forget about SSL it will not work on "less secure apps". Only TLS will work.

P.S.

I guess you can grab Django send_mail()

docs:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/email/
git:

https://github.com/django/django/tree/master/django/core/mail

and implement it in your app.
!!! Pay attention to django.conf.settings since there are the settings for your mail account.

This time it worked, from python.
