Email Sender

A simple email sender application built in Python that allows you to send emails with optional image attachments using Gmail's SMTP server. The application can be run interactively or with command-line arguments.

Features

• Send emails with or without attachments
• Interactive input for email details
• Command-line interface for quick usage
• Basic error handling and logging
• Modular structure for easy maintenance

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• A Gmail account

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/jpxoi/send_email.git
   cd send_email

2. Install dependencies (if any):

   • Currently, this application does not require any external libraries beyond the Python standard library, so no additional installation is needed.

Usage

You can run the application in two ways: interactively or with command-line arguments.

Interactive Mode

Simply run the script without any arguments:

python email_sender.py

You will be prompted to enter your email credentials and email details.

Command-Line Arguments

You can also provide the recipient's email, subject, body, and an optional attachment directly from the command line:

python email_sender.py recipient@example.com "Subject Here" "Body of the email" --attachment path/to/attachment.jpeg

Example

To send an email with an attachment:

python email_sender.py recipient@example.com "Hello" "This is a test email" --attachment path/to/image.jpg

To send an email without an attachment:

python email_sender.py recipient@example.com "Hello" "This is a test email"

Logging

All events, including errors, are logged to email_sender.log in the same directory as the script.

Important Notes

• This application currently only supports sending emails from Gmail accounts. Ensure you use a valid Gmail address.
• Make sure to allow "Less secure apps" in your Google account settings to use this application.
