ESP8266 Community Forum

- Sun Mar 15, 2015 12:20 pm #12021 I made a sketch using Adafruit's ESP8266's library to send email. You'll need an email account that provides access without SSL. Gmail, and yahoo will not work. The one's I've found to work are my ISP's and AOL's.

- Mon Mar 16, 2015 7:03 am #12049 not a good idea to send your email credentials in cleartext, especially if you use your ISP's mailserver as that's usually your broadband account details!

there's a reason gmail, yahoo etc. don't allow it.

- Fri May 08, 2015 6:17 am #16880 As this script appears not to be working with gmail, I tried it with an AOL account. However the message seems to get queued.
Any other free webmail provider that this could be work with?

According to this post gmail could be used, but going through arduino....
