ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi MMISCOOL. I am new to this, so please bear with me....
Is it possible to implement the mailing structure found in this project
"http://www.instructables.com/id/ESP8266-GMail-Sender/"

It works incredibly well. It is waaayyyy too complicated for me to understand. Sure would be nice to have it working in the background with front end like you have already done.

Thanks

See docs.

I have tried email and setupemail before I first posted to no avail. My guess is that the instructable in question must give a response to a prompt of some sort other than just a login and password request. Could you have a look, cause its way over my head? It also doesn't require any third party other than your gmail account.
Thanks

Hi Zim,

I have had excellent results with smtp2go.com for sending messages from my espbasic projects.
I seem to remember that gmail was too stringent to allow the esp module to send via their servers.

But if you think about it gmail is a 3rd party just as mailgun.

give smtp2go.com a try you can send like 20 emails per day (or hour) or something like that for FREE

if you can't get smtp2go going post back here and I'll try and post an example.
