I'm having a problem getting smptemail working with gmail.    I see I can include a userid and password, but I'm not sure of the format. Here's what I have:

ph_sendsmtpemail("smtp.gmail.com",465,"xxxx@gmail.com/passwo rd","mike@xxxx.com","PH Test Message","Test message from PowerHome.")

Anyone have a working example for a smtp server that requires a userid/password?

Mike..

Mike,

I thought I had some samples that included a userid and password, but after checking, I don't. However, I reviewed the code and proper format would be:

Code:
ph_sendsmtpemail("smtp.gmail.com", 465, "mike@gmail.com,mike,password", "mike@gmail.com", "PH Test Message", "Test message from PowerHome.")


The trick is that the 3rd parameter contains the "From" email address, the "userid", and the "password" all separated with commas and no spaces.

Let me know how it goes,

Dave.

Well, I achieved some success - I wasn't able to get it to work with gmail, but it did work with Verizon. I have both of them working with Outlook so I'm not sure what the problem is. It's strange, when I check the Verizon flavor of the formula, it evaluates to 0, but when I check the gmail flavor it evaluates to 2. I can't spot any errors.

Anyway, at least I've got a working solution to send email.

Thanks Dave!

Mike..

I'm having the same issue of it evaluating to 2. I tried the alt gmail port 587 but that one evaluates to 4. lol It seems to have something to do with the recieving end. I have only come across this when trying to have an email sent to my cell phone. (@txt.att.net) I'm using an smtp server running on the PH sys.

Anybody come up with any ideas on this yet?

Hmmm. I can't seem to get this to work with a gmail account either I get...

Execution time: 10.062 seconds.
The formula evaluates to: 2

Has any been able to get ph_sendsmtpemail to work with their google account? Thanks.

I tried and failed this past weekend, too. My guess is the SSL requirement that gmail has for SMTP is not accommodated by PH yet.

I didn't, but I didn't spend much time on it either. I had found in the forum history that others were unable to get it to work with gmail so used a regular POP email address instead.

Ok... I signed up for a differn't email account the allows SMTP... I ran the macro and get the formula to evaluate to 6. Does that mean anything? I still can't seem to get it to send an email? What free email accounts to some of you use that I can try and see if it makes a difference. Thanks.

I got it to work with verizon using the following code:
ph_sendsmtpemail("outgoing.verizon.net", 25, "[my verizon username]@verizon.net,[my verizon username],[my verizon password]", "[recipient e-mail address]", "Subject", "Body")

Returns 0 if successful. Any other value signifies an error occurred.

Great... I got it to work... I went to using a bluebottle.com account and for me it was a combination of the correct port (25) and the correct userid which is the full address and not just the name before the @. Works great. Thank you for everyones help...
