Hi

Best choice is download OpenG internet connectivity tools from this link:

http://www.openg.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=OpenG%20Internet%20Connectivity%20Tools&offset=&sort_m...

Also, if you need to autenticate only in POP3 ( to retrieve messages), download this example:

Hope it helps.

Hi

Download OpenG smtp toolkit. there is a vi named " SMTP server login" .

You can learn how to send login comands ( AUTH LOGIN) and send that command using the vi from NI.

Bear in mind that your name and password are base64 coded, So, best choice is use OpenG smtp toolkit.

Hope it helps

Hi All,

Do anybody know how to send an email message in plain text format only by Labview? Or, how to modify the SMTP to plain text message?

Thank you,

Hi,

The SMTP E-mail VIs do not contain inputs for programmatically communicating with a POP3 mail server to retrieve email messages. However, the NI Developer Zone includes an example of POP Mail VIs (linked below) that you can use.

The SMTP E-mail VIs are available in the Full and Professional Development Systems of LabVIEW 7.0 and later and in the LabVIEW Internet Toolkit 5.0 or earlier.

I hope this helps!

Hi Apple James,

Quote from the KB link:

By default, LabVIEW sends plain text. For a server to use HTML to read an e-mail, the header must specify that this particular email is formatted using HTML. The header is created by a SubVI two levels down into the email VI. To send formatted email one must find the VI that writes the header and change the input to this VI from "text/plain" to "text/html".

Please see: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/E9544A158AFE8D1C8625705400751DE1?OpenDocument

Hi Kurt,

1)  I would like to send out an email message, not receive.

2)  I would like to send a plain text email, not html email.

Thank you.

Hi,

The SMTP VIs do send emails in text format. Are you unable to get them to work?
