In previous section, I introduced how to send HTML email. In this section, I will introduce how to send email with attachment in Delphi.
To send an email with file attachment, we need to use AddAttachment method. This method can attach a file to the email message from local disk or a remote URL.
Note
Remarks: All of samples in this section are based on first section: Send email in a simple Delphi project. To compile and run the following example codes successfully, please click here to learn how to create the test project and add reference of EASendMail to your project.
The following example codes demonstrate how to send email with attachment in Delphi.

// User and password for ESMTP authentication, if your server doesn't require
// user authentication, please remove the following codes
oSmtp.UserName := 'test@emailarchitect.net';
oSmtp.Password := 'testpassword';
// ConnectTryTLS means if server supports SSL/TLS connection, SSL/TLS is used automatically
oSmtp.ConnectType := ConnectTryTLS;
// If your server uses 587 port
// oSmtp.ServerPort := 587;
// If your server uses 25/587/465 port with SSL/TLS

// oSmtp.ServerPort := 587; // 25 or 587 or 465
ShowMessage('start to send email ...');
if oSmtp.SendMail() = 0 then
ShowMessage('email was sent successfully!')
else
ShowMessage('failed to send email with the following error: '
+ oSmtp.GetLastErrDescription());
end;
end.
