In this tutorial, we will introduce how to send text email using python smtp.

If you want to send email with file attachment, you can read:

Python: Send Email with File Attachment Using SMTP

1.Import smtp library

import smtplib

2.Log in into the server

server.login('your email address', 'your password')

3.Create email message

subject = 'This is my subject'
body = 'This is the message in the email'
message = f'Subject: {subject}\n\n{body}'

4.Send email

server.sendmail('your email address', 'recipient email address', message)
server.quit()

5.Create a python function to send email

def send_email(subject, body):
    try:
        server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')
        server.ehlo()
        server.starttls()
        server.login('your email address', 'your password')
        message = f'Subject: {subject}\n\n{body}'
        server.sendmail('your email address', 'recipient email', message)
        server.quit()
    except:
        pass

Then you can send an email as follows:

send_email('this is the subject', 'this is the body')
