Gmail has improved more smtp control to send emals services.

#1 · July 26, 2021, 10:36 pm

Hi overthere,

I'm trying to use several ways to send emails to gmail accounts.

I just tested my neoSendMail plugin, the CDO send mail VBScript and the tmSMTP plugin

all appairs good, but the mails never goes to target.

After search the problem, i just detected a 334 error of google, that shows about security.

following the info, i found this webpages:

a) an explanation of the problem:

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?p=less-secure-apps

b) a possible way to solve this:

https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps

After do this page, i get the tmSMTP plugin is working again.

Please, tell me if this solution goes fine for you.

Out of curiosity... doesn't the native sendmail with the old NB work with standard SMTP accounts? I haven't tried this with my cPanel based email accounts in a long time. But if not, I hope that perhaps this gets addressed in an upcoming version of Visual Neo Win. I will need this feature and am hoping to avoid a plugin if possible.

Thanks

Hi @rcohen

Nice to see you again!

I'm working with generic developments for indeterminate users.

In fact, most programs works with Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail email accounts.

After tests, i get this status:

SendMail: NeoBook native action does not work with any generic emails accounts (need to be TLS or some like this..)
CDO SendMail does not work properly with Gmail. see the links in the first post. other mail servers does not accept the mails.
My NeoSendMail does not work with Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail. not clare reasons.
tmSMTPsendMail works sometimes with Gmail. the other mailservers no.

The only one service that works all times is using powerhell scripts with Hotmail.

Is pretty confused to teach powershell scripting to users, because powershell could be at different places with differents Win versions.

I tested scripts under Win7 Ultimate and Win10 pro and works fine for me.

I guess there are a good idea for @luishp to improve the function library section in order to accept powershell scripts directly.

I think this will be a goal.

Cheers,

David de Argentina

@luishp Are there any plans to upgrade the native email functions of VisualNeo Windows to work with todays systems?

Thanks

@rcohen, @hpw is working on VisualNEO Win updates while he learns how the application is made and how the source code is organized (not easy). Although there are many limitations and, just like me, he has his own job, he is doing great improvements and a new minor version is about to be published very soon. There are no defined "plans" yet. Anyway I'm sure he is interested in suggestions and ideas.

Thanks

Understood. I'm sure we all know what needs updated (browser, email, etc) and I sure understand that this won't happen overnight... but I was just wondering what the "plan" was ;-)

Thanks Luis

Hi @rcohen,

For the meanwhile, take a look of this:
https://visualneo.com/forum/topic/send-email-using-gmail-and-powershell

Is not ellegant, but does the job, and produces ideas...

Hello Robert,

There is no "Plan" actually. There are wishes here and on the archieved old forum.

And studying them give some ideas what can be usefull. Then it has to be investigated if it is doable for me.

Some things depends on thirt party libraries which adds new code to understand.

For example I have added new actions, but no new graphical objects yet. That is quite a bigger task to add because a lot more dependency through the whole engine.

And as Luis stated there is my main job which pays the bills and has the top priority.

So my and Luis resources are limited.

And when new plugins from the community solves some problems then it is a good thing.

That was also my motivation for plugins in the past.

For the email problem there was a thread from David from argentinia who research about the problem. An it seems not an easy task.

I'm not a good programmer but using "Plugin Wizard" ( based on MyNewEmbeddedPlugin of HPW ) I have made a plugin for Gmail.

Good work

Hello,

So when you use the plugin-wizard you made a solution using neoscript?

When you want to share the source, I could transfer a solution to the core engine.

Thank you @naglieri

@hpw Awesome, thank you!!

@daviddeargentina

Sorry just spotted your post. I am not a coder.... and I seek solutions that are just as simple to use as VNW itself. I use NB entirely BECAUSE I am not very good with longhand syntax. Funny thing is, I can flowchart in my head... so NB/VNW for a guy like me is an amazing tool.

I'm sure I can do a lot with powershell, but that's just one more thing I'd have to struggle with ;-0

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello naglieri,

Thanks for posting your plugin source.

Do I understand it right that you call a powershell script from inside the plugin?

I was under the impression that you did it with native neoscript.

So at least you add a GUI with a new Action through you plugin.

Great use of the plugin wizard.

But that make not so much sense to add it to the core.

Calling a script enviroment should be in a script of repackaged in a plugin (as you did).

Thanks for it anyway.
