I'm looking for a way to send an email from FME Desktop.

 

I went through this post but I cannot solve the issue:

 

https://knowledge.safe.com/AnswersQuestionDetail?id=906a0000000cqUpAAI

 

 

I have used "TCLEmailer" and "PythonEmailer" but I got the same error of the above post.

 

------

 

Python Exception <SMTPException>: SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server.

 

Error encountered while calling function `email'

 

PythonFactory failed to process feature

 

------

 

 

I disabled the antivirus but without any improvement.

 

 

I'm using Gmail for the emailing and I'm aware about the Gmail setting:

 

Email server: smtp.gmail.com

 

Gmail SMTP port (TLS): 587

 

Gmail SMTP port (SSL): 465

 

 

 

Please for your support.

 

I would be glad if anyone have a workspace with data sample or demo for the Email from FME Desktop.

First of all, you need to use TLS, not SSL.

 

 

Secondly, you must activate support for "less secure apps" to send email through Gmail:

Google has tightened the security around this a lot lately, so you might have to dig around in your account security settings to enable smtp from e.g. FME.

 

 

I was able to send an email with Gmail using these settings:

 

 

 

 

There are three alternative ways of sending email through Google, you might also want to consider the other two options:
