Using Gmail

[CamEra]

Hi,

 

Thought this was going to be straightforward but I keep getting the same error.

 

My script is (password has been changed but I know I used the correct one)

 

private string TodaysData

 

//while (1)

//   waituntil(06h + 86400)

   email.strHost="smtp.gmail.com"

   email.strUserName="cambridgeponds@gmail.com"

   email.strPassword="xxx"

   email.strReplyAddress="cambridgeponds@gmail.com"

   email.strReplyName="cambridgeponds@gmail.com"

   email.port = 587

   email.strConnectionType = "STARTTLS"

   email.strSSLProtocol = "TLSv1_2"

   //email.strTo="g.payne@niwa.co.nz"

   email.strTo="g.payne@niwa.co.nz"

   email.strSubject="Daily Data (all m3)"   

   TodaysData= "Sent " + FormatDateTime("%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S",systime()) + " NZST" + Chr(10) + Chr(13)

   //TodaysData= TodaysData + "HRAP1InFlow    HRAP2InFlow     Inoculum1InFlow    Innoculum2InFlow    HRAP1OutFlow    HRAP2OutFlow    FinalOutFlow" + Chr(10) + Chr(13)

   //TodaysData= TodaysData + HRAP1InFlowDay[0] +"   " +HRAP2InflowDay[0] +"    "+HRAP3InFlowDAY[0] +    "+HRAP4InFlowDay[0] +"    "+ HRAP1OutFlowDay[0] +"    "+ HRAP2OutFlowDay[0] +"    "+ HRAPFinalOutFlowDay[0] + Chr(10) +Chr(13)

   email.strBody=TodaysData

   Email.Send()

//endwhile

 

 

I realise that once working I can take all the settings and set once in the startup script.

 

The error I get is

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

You forgot to set the Authentication type.  It defaults to none, and gmail requires authentication.  So, add:

 

email.strAuthenticate = "Auto"

 

and it will likely work correctly for you.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the quick response, set that but then got the error below. I logged on using Chrome and set my email account to use the less secure options and made sure that the login process was NOT a two step process. Made several attempts and got the same response.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

 

George

Hi,

 

Further to yesterdays post. I was cheating and didn't make a new instance of email, Once I did that

 

 private semail = new(CEMail)

 

it all worked.

 

Thanks for the support
