VB6, VBA Example

Gmail SMTP server address is "smtp.gmail.com". It requires SSL or TLS connection, and you should use your Gmail email address as the user name for ESMTP authentication. For example: your email is "gmailid@gmail.com", and then the user name should be "gmailid@gmail.com".

' The following example codes demonstrate sending email message using Gmail SMTP Server
' To get full sample projects, please download and install EASendMail on your machine.
' To run it correctly, please change SMTP server, user, password, sender, recipient value to yours


Private Sub btnSendMail_Click() 

    Dim oSmtp As New EASendMailObjLib.Mail 
    oSmtp.LicenseCode = "TryIt" 

    ' Set your Gmail email address
    oSmtp.FromAddr = "gmailid@gmail.com" 

    ' Add recipient email address
    oSmtp.AddRecipientEx "support@emailarchitect.net", 0 

    ' Set email subject
    oSmtp.Subject = "test email from gmail account" 

    ' Set email body
    oSmtp.BodyText = "this is a test email sent from VB 6.0 project with gmail" 

    ' Gmail SMTP server address
    oSmtp.ServerAddr = "smtp.gmail.com" 

    ' If you want to use direct SSL 465 port,
    ' Please add this line, otherwise TLS will be used.
    ' oSmtp.ServerPort = 465

    ' detect SSL/TLS automatically
    oSmtp.SSL_init 

    ' Gmail user authentication should use your
    ' Gmail email address as the user name.
    ' For example: your email is "gmailid@gmail.com", then the user should be "gmailid@gmail.com"
    oSmtp.UserName = "gmailid@gmail.com" 
    oSmtp.Password = "yourpassword" 

    MsgBox "start to send email ..." 

    If oSmtp.SendMail() = 0 Then 
        MsgBox "email was sent successfully!" 
    Else 
        MsgBox "failed to send email with the following error:" & oSmtp.GetLastErrDescription() 
    End If 

End Sub
