Email plugins with Tasker

[Rex Phelan]

Hello Group Members,

Has anyone been able to successfully use a third party plug-in with Tasker to successfully send emails out of the Tasker (i.e. email backup.xml file). Ever since I upgraded to the new version of Tasker I have been unable to successfully send emails out of Tasker using third party plug-in (that worked in the past) and with SL4 no longer viable it appears that our options are limited; if any.

Regards,

Rex

MailTask works well. There are others.

Which plug-in were you trying to use?

I am using MailTask and that does not work. I also used SendSilenMail and that also does not work despite both being configured.

The device is a Samsung Galaxy S8+ running Android OS 8.1.

I just used MailTask to send an email in the current Tasker Beta, from a Galaxy S9 Plus on Android 8.0 and it worked. I include an attachment on the email. There may be a size limit on the attached file, because when I sent a larger file it did not work. I selected a smaller file and it worked.

Scott,

That file size did u use?

[Scott Miller]

The one that worked was about 37k. The one that did not was about 430k. I did not try anything in between.

I'm using MailTask too and it works for me. Did you check the logs after the task execution?

Hi,

I use EmailMe and it works fine for me.

It does not seem to work for me. It appears that ever since I moved to a new device and new version of OS and Tasker none of the email plug-in work. Quite a number of my Profiles that email files via Tasker stopped working and no matter what I have tried I am not getting any closer to a solution.

It's clear that it's something related to your phone. Did you see the logs? Anything strange?

[Rex Phelan]

Hello Mike,

Silly question. How do I obtain/enable the logs?

[Mike Oldfield]

Open the app and click on "logs" after the action is executed, really simple.

There is nothing strange in the logs; here is s snipit:

What about MailTask logs?

[Rex Phelan]

Hello Mike,

For some odd reason it now works; somewhat. I am getting the emails with 2 of three attachments. In addition, the Task does not kick off automatically; I have to manually kick it off. But it appears to be working now than it did in the past.

I have the same Problem: SendSilentMail stopped working and I tried, reading this post, that MailTask, but it aint work and the log is just empty.
Android 7.0 with Tasker 5.1 and MailTask Plugin (actual).
What can I do?
Thank frank

MailTask works fine on my Galaxy S9 with Oreo. I used it to send mail this morning.

The fact that muliple mail plug-ins are having this trouble points to an authorization problem on Google's end.

I know now why it didnt work: I used email addresses (as variables) for the to, cc and bcc fields in the general format:

Name Surname <maila...@example.org>

This does not work. MailTask needs just the email address, and a second one is separated with an empty space.
So the Name Surname is interpreted as two (not working) email addresses. The "<" at the beginning of the email is destroying the email and it is ignored.
It is neither possible to put the name in " signs. "Name Surname" ... wont work at all.

I asked the developer and he confirms, that it is not possible, only the plain email is accepted.

So it works now, not exactly as I wish but enoughly :)

Thank

frank
