Here's my script: #!/usr/bin/python import smtplib msg = 'Hello world.' server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com',587) #port 465 or 587 server.ehlo() server.starttls() server.ehlo() server.login('myname@gmail.com','mypass') server.sendmail('myname@gmail.com','somename@somewhere.com',msg) server.close() I'm just trying to send an email from my gmail account. The script uses starttls because of gmail's requirement. I've tried this on two web hosts, 1and1 and webfaction. 1and1 gives me a 'connection refused' error and webfaction reports no error but just doesn't send the email. I can't see anything

This is a seemingly known issue when delivering email to Google users: Google changes any "height" declarations to "min-height". This means that images that are stacked no longer "touch" each other without a gap. Does anyone know of a good work around? Here's an example: <div style="height:244px"> <img src="http://www.domain.com/images/top.gif" alt="" /> </div> <div style="height:266px"> <img src="http://www.domain.com/images/bottom.gif" alt="" /> </div> Appears as the following in GMail: <div style="min-height:244px"> <img src="http://www.domain.com/images/top.gif" alt="" /> </div> <div style

I've done quite a bit of inbox manipulation with Gmail via IMAP functions in PHP, but one thing I haven't found is a way to create messages. I'm not sure if IMAP or SMTP is required, but I would like to use PHP to create a new message (specifically a draft) that is stored in my inbox with everything ready to hit send at a later date. How do I go about this? You might want to look at imap_mail_compose() Edit This doesn't create the message on the server. You need to use imap_append() also. Further Edit This seems to work ok: <?php $rootMailBox = "{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}"; $draftsMailBox =

Gmail has a issue where conversation labels are not applied to new messages that arrive in the conversation thread. issue details here We found a Google Apps Script that fixes the labels on individual messages in the Gmail Inbox to address this issue. The script is as follows: function relabeller() { var labels = GmailApp.getUserLabels(); for (var i = 0; i < labels.length; i++) { Logger.log("label: " + i + " " + labels[i].getName()); var threads = labels[i].getThreads(0,100); for (var j = 1; threads.length > 0; j++) { Logger.log( (j - 1) * 100 + threads.length); labels[i].addToThreads(threads)

I send a lot of HTML emails. The problem with GMail is, if there are more than one emails with the same subject, it hides some similar content and shows a "..." to show the "trimmed content". This screws up with my formatting. If changing the subject is not an option, is there is any way to avoid this behaviour? Edit: I should clarify that I programmatically send emails using Amazon SES from a php script. That is why I posted the question in Stack Overflow. I've just encountered this problem myself, and from my investigations it seems that GMail does indeed trim the content if it is similar to

I used CSS in my email and sent it out. When I received the email in Gmail, all the CSS was disabled; however, when I retrieved the email in thunderbird or outlook, everything is OK. How would I fix this? Gmail doesn't block CSS totally. It still supports inline style. Why doesnt it support style block, I've no idea. To have a good overview of CSS support in various webmail and email clients, here's a good one. http://www.campaignmonitor.com/css/ Stylesheets are one of many, many HTML features that are often blocked by webmail providers. HTML mail is a world of hurt and it's not going to get
