Send email using Raspberry pi python program

In this post, am sharing you some useful code for sending email through python. In this program, we will use the python’s smtplib library to send emails using raspberry pi

here we discuss 2 types of mail sending codes, one is simple email sending and other is sending email with attachments

The below codes are tested to work on python 3.6 and onward versions of Python

Simple e-mail and email with attachment

import smtplibserver = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com',587)server.starttls()server.login("vtsproject006","vidya1234")msg = 'test msg'server.sendmail("vtsproject006","amitrana3348@gmail.com",msg)server.quit()

Send email using raspberry pi with subject

import smtplibfrom email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipartfrom email.mime.text import MIMETextfromaddr = "YOUR ADDRESS"toaddr = "ADDRESS YOU WANT TO SEND TO"msg = MIMEMultipart()msg['From'] = fromaddrmsg['To'] = toaddrmsg['Subject'] = "SUBJECT OF THE MAIL"body = "YOUR MESSAGE HERE"msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)server.starttls()server.login(fromaddr, "YOUR PASSWORD")text = msg.as_string()server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddr, text)server.quit()

Send email with Attachment using raspberry pi

import smtplibfrom email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipartfrom email.MIMEText import MIMETextfrom email.MIMEBase import MIMEBasefrom email import encodersfromaddr = "YOUR EMAIL"toaddr = "EMAIL ADDRESS YOU SEND TO"msg = MIMEMultipart()msg['From'] = fromaddrmsg['To'] = toaddrmsg['Subject'] = "SUBJECT OF THE EMAIL"body = "TEXT YOU WANT TO SEND"msg.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))filename = "NAME OF THE FILE WITH ITS EXTENSION"attachment = open("PATH OF THE FILE", "rb")part = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')part.set_payload((attachment).read())encoders.encode_base64(part)part.add_header('Content-Disposition', "attachment; filename= %s" % filename)msg.attach(part)server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)server.starttls()server.login(fromaddr, "YOUR PASSWORD")text = msg.as_string()server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddr, text)server.quit()
