How Send Email (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo)

[luk2009]

Thanks for your answers

Thank you so much for this topic... I was several days trying to understand why my old routines to send emails stopped working since some months... the SSL and TLS properties need to be defined nowadays to work with many email providers.

I use Lazarus 1.6, FreePascal 3.0.0

My email example program is working now in Windows10, 32b. But I also have to compile it in Ubuntu 32bits and Raspbian Stretch for Raspberry ARM... (I didn't do that yet)

Questions: do I have to provide dlls for OpenSSL with my Raspberry application? In affirmative case, which ones? (I see librarys por Windows and Linux, could I use the Linux ones for Raspbian?)

Thank you very much !!

xmailer uses the synapse libraries so you must have them installed on your windows box - you can use the same files on your linux boxes

they will be bel recompiled for linux when you compile your xmailler program

the synapse files will also work on the rpi

you probably already have the linux openssl files on your linux boxes - if not they are very easy to install

xmailer is working great for me in win xp 32bits, win 10 64 bits, and raspbian stretch (raspberry pi3B+)!!
I still did not tested in ubuntu 32 and 64 bits...

Question: Has anyone used xmail to send an email with a html body? Could share a simple example of how to?
Thank you very much!

I got it... it's simple:

function MailSimple(.....)
Var
    Mail : TSendMail;
begin
    ...
    ...
      Mail.ContentType := ctTextPlain ;    //for plain text
   //or
      Mail.ContentType := ctTextHTML ;   //for html text
   ...
end;

Version of your crypto lib(s) are too old, so the authentication fails. Your are probably using a crypto lib version (any, e.g. openssl) that does not support tls 1.3, although 1.2 might still work.
This is an ever recurring problem and I have posted this or similar answers in their hundreds.
See wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_history_for_TLS/SSL_support_in_web_browsers
and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/TLS
For good measure, this goes for ALL browsers, not just Firefox.

In general, it is Google that has blocked the ability to send emails when authenticating with a login and password. You must use OAuth or set up an additional password for the app: https://support.google.com/a/answer/9003945

Think that hotmail (office etc.) also require OAuth2 today as well.
