[Solved] Sending email with Synapse

[tintinux]

Hi

I was used to send emails with Synapse, and below is an extract of my code :

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.  
2.     Smtp := TSMTPSend.Create;
3.     Smtp.TargetHost:= Inifile.ReadString ( 'EMail', 'Server', '?');
4.     if Smtp.TargetHost = '?' then
5.       raise Exception.Create('SMTP ERROR (TargetHost undefined in '+Inifile.Filename+')' );
6.     Smtp.Username:= Inifile.ReadString ( 'EMail', 'Account', '');
7.     Smtp.Password:= Decode_password( Inifile.ReadString ( 'EMail', 'Password', ''));
8.     Smtp.TargetPort := Inifile.ReadString ( 'EMail', 'Port', '465');
9.     Smtp.autoTLS := Inifile.ReadBool ( 'EMail', 'AutoTLS', true);
10.     Smtp.FullSSL := Inifile.ReadBool ( 'EMail', 'FullSSL', true );
11.     if not Smtp.Login() then
12.       Raise Exception.Create ('SMTP ERROR (Login) : ' + Smtp.ResultString );

Today, Smtp.Login returns FALSE and Smtp.ResultString shows :

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]

1. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE LITERAL+ AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot on host 112 ready

What does the message mean ?  Is Smtp no more supported ?

I have nearly the same with pop3send, but I can use Imap with ssl and the same credentials to get emails.

I have read that we could send emails with imap moving messages in the outbox folder.
But how can we set mailto and mailfrom ?

Thanks for help

What's the Value of Smtp.TargetPort AFTER Reading from the Ini-File?

It was a wrong value, and now I can login...

Many thanks !

No. You can clearly see in the message that it came from an IMAP server, not an SMTP server. You connected to the wrong IP:port.

I have nearly the same with pop3send, but I can use Imap with ssl and the same credentials to get emails.

POP3, IMAP, SMTP - they are different protocols, and require different components to access them properly.

I have read that we could send emails with imap moving messages in the outbox folder.

Nope. IMAP is a mailbox management protocol. It can only manage the content of mailboxes/folders, nothing more. It does not support sending emails in any way. SMTP is the only official way to send emails.

But how can we set mailto and mailfrom ?

You don't, because sending emails is not part of IMAP, only SMTP.
