gmail

A simple Go library for sending emails from a Gmail account.

NB: The attachment code was inspired by scorredoira's email and full credit goes to him.

package main

import "github.com/SlyMarbo/gmail"

func main() {
	email := gmail.Compose("Email subject", "Email body")
	email.From = "username@gmail.com"
	email.Password = "password"

	// Defaults to "text/plain; charset=utf-8" if unset.
	email.ContentType = "text/html; charset=utf-8"

	// Normally you'll only need one of these, but I thought I'd show both.
	email.AddRecipient("recipient@example.com")
	email.AddRecipients("another@example.com", "more@example.com")

	err := email.Send()
	if err != nil {
		// handle error.
	}
}

Note:

If you have problems with authentication, be sure to check your password settings. While developing the package, I had forgotten that I have application-specific passwords enabled on my Google account, so my account password wasn't working; I had to sign into my account and create an application-specific password for the package and use that.
