Email Attachments?

[ckeyes888]

Seeing my Applescripts to attach security cam images have stopped working I’m hoping
the Better Email plugin might support that soon?

Thanks,

Carl

It does now. Field for path names at the bottom of the Send Email action dialog.

[ckeyes888]

Awesome! Can’t seem to get the path syntax in correctly. Keep getting “no such directory” error.

Maybe post a sample path?

Thanks,

Carl

[FlyingDiver]

It's a full filename path. Like "/Users/indigo/Documents/foo.jpg". What are you trying that's not working?

[ckeyes888]

I believe I have the path in correctly, that error stopped, but can’t seem to get my gmail settings to work
to send.

Thanks,

Carl

The Better Email device state shows, "Success" but when I execute a send email I get these errors.

Code: Select all

Better Email Error              Better Email Server: Error connecting to IMAP server: IMAP4 protocol error: socket error: <type 'exceptions.IOError'> - Too many read 0
   Better Email Error              exception in deviceStartComm(Better Email Server): IMAP4 protocol error: socket error: <type 'exceptions.IOError'> - Too many read 0

From what I can gather I believe these email settings are supposed to work for a gmail account?

Thanks,

IMAP is for receiving mail. To send mail you need to create an SMTP device.

[ckeyes888]

Checked out the Wiki but didn’t see any info on setting up a SMTP device.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Carl

[FlyingDiver]

Create the device. Fill in the fields like you did for the IMAP device.

[ckeyes888]

Been trying that with no luck. I have a number of email accounts and can’t make any of them work.

Thanks,

Carl

You're not showing the logs or any errors, so I'm just guessing here.

Are all the accounts you're trying Gmail? If so, do you have the "insecure clients" enabled in the Gmail setup? The plugin can't do two factor authentication or OAuth, so that's required.

More info on that in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=211&t=20747

[ckeyes888]

At this point there aren't any errors to show. I can't get the SMTP device to show "Success".
I have 4 email accts, the one I'd like to use is gmail, the others are personal domains.
Still no joy with any of them.

Edit: I had turned on the "allow insecure apps" option.
Thanks,

Carl

Other than the status field, is it actually working properly? Is it sending the email messages?

If it's just the status not updating properly, file a bug report on it.

[ckeyes888]

The status field magically changed to Success this morning and all is working great.
Seems the change I made in gmail to allow less secure apps took many hours to go into effect.

Thanks!
