smtp

[Klaus]

So I can't make smtp with community at all?

I don't know!

And if I can I didn't get the live code server u can teach me master?

Whatever you mean with that, the answer is probably no.

I meant that if I can make smtp with community u can tell me how to do with live code server u meant

[Klaus]

if I can make smtp with community

how to do with livecode server

These are two different things!
And if you can do it with the community version there is no need to do this also with the LC server.
Do you have access to a server that has the "LC server" software installed?

[Zazi]

I dont know what is it!
I use Gmail server for the smtp server

Thank u for helping me

[Klaus]

You need a (internet) SERVER to install the LC server software as mentioned in the first couple of lines in the link I posted above:

...
The guide explains how to install LiveCode Server on Mac, Windows and Linux servers,
...

And the LC server script to send emails also relies on other server specific software like "sendmail".

why not just use revmail to send the email text to gmail?

Do you have a website and your own domain name? The hardware that runs the website is the server. You need access to that so you can install your own server software. Some hosting companies do not allow you to do that, but if yours does then you can install LC server software there. That is not always easy to do.

I agree with Mark, it is much easier to use LC's revMail command.

I dont have access to my own website. My whole point is that people use my apps and want to send me email inside the app revmail copy what u wrote and open up mail app but then u left the app its not what I want

If you are developing a desktop app how about using shell to call the curl command?
Curl is already installed on MacOS and Linux(?), should be easy to install it on Windows.
The following code worked for me on MacOS.

For this to work with GMail you have to allow 'Less secure app access' in your GMail account security settings.
Bear in mind that you will be storing your GMail account username and password in your app so best not use your main account if you use it for lots of services and password resets. You can use OAuth2 but its more complicated.

Code: Select all

put "Me" into tFromName
put "myaccount@gmail.com" into tFromEmail
put "Another Account" into tToName
put "someone@example.com" into tToEmail
put "gmailUserName" into tUserName
put "gmailPassword" into tPassword
put the internet date into tDateSent

put the tempname into tFile

put "From: " & tFromName & " <" & tFromEmail & ">" & cr &\
     "To: " & tToName & " <" & tToEmail & ">" & cr &\
     "Subject: Test" & cr &\
     "Date: " & tDateSent & cr &\
     cr &\
     "Testing, testing, 123" into tMessage

put tMessage into URL ("file:" & tFile)

put "curl smtps://smtp.gmail.com " &\
     " --silent --show-error" &\
     " --mail-from " & tFromEmail  &\
     " --mail-rcpt " & tToEmail &\
     " --user " & tUserName & ":" & tPassword &\
     " --upload-file " & tFile \
     into tCurlCommand

put shell( tCurlCommand ) into tResponse
if tResponse is empty then
  put "Email sent ok" into tResponse
end if
answer tResponse

Hope that helps
