send email using SMTP?

[MikeMike]

Hi Daniel,

  It's the same SMTP server (my company's) I am using for sending mails in Lab View. What do you mean by checking smtp setting in application(LabView or Outlook.)? I have not found any smtp setting option in lab view vi. For outlook please tell me where and what setting I have to modify.

  I am using SMTP send message.vi and I do not have "SMTP Email Send Multiple Attachments.vi". Can u please send this vi for me?

There are several products available. The one that I have used in the past with success is an ActiveX control from Ostrosoft. It is inexpensive and very easy to use from within LV.

PS: If you want to try it I'll post my VIs for accessing it...

Hi Mike,
Are you using LabVIEW 8.20 or 8.2.1? The SMTP palette is in "Data Communication > Protocols > SMTP Email". There you should find multiple SMTP VIs, including "SMTP Email Send Multiple Attachments.vi". Can you try this?
I can't send it to you, it's part of the LabVIEW installation. But it's not included in the Base Package.

Actually, I also ran a test using "SMTP Email Send Message.vi". For me this works for all recipients.
In Outlook, go to "Tools > E-mail accounts...". Then check "View or change existing e-mail accounts" and click "Next". If you only see an Exchange server connection there this won't help. But if you have POP/SMTP or IMAP/SMTP email accounts configured, check one and click "Change...". On the next screen you'll see the "Outgoing Mail Server". This is your SMTP server. Click "More settings . ..", go to the Outgoing Server tab and check if it requires authentication.

Hi Daniel,

 I have Lab View 8.2 basic version, so i do not have "SMTP Email Send Multiple Attachments.vi". with me.

       I have look in to the outlook setting but I have not found POP/SMTP or IMAP/SMTP their. It only contain Microsoft Exchange server there. So the authentication setting I can't change. Please tell me what I have require to do, so that I can get option of POP/SMTP or IMAP/SMTP in e-mail account. I will ask for the network people to do thses things.

Thanks:-

Hi Mike,

That's fine. So where did you get the SMTP server information? I suggest asking someone from IT about an SMTP server. What you need is:
server address, does it require authentication and, if yes, authentication data (username, password).
If it requires authentication you'll have to use an activeX tool or something. If you have the internet toolkit for LabVIEW installed I can probably also send you the VI with authentication i wrote. If no authentication is required it should work with the VI you're using.

Try the free library that I posted in this thread. This library supports authentication, unlike the built-in SMTP VIs in LabVIEW. It was made by OpenG.
