Cannot send via yahoo or Google SMTP servers
jamiehiggins opened this issue · comments
When I configure the library to user SMTP server from Yahoo or Google, the sending fails.
I am using Yahoo configuration settings from here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN4724.html
When using port 465 I get the following error:
Failed to send email to: abc@xyz.com: javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: 535 5.7.0 (#AUTH005) Too many bad auth attempts..
When using port 587 I get the following error:
Failed to send email to: abc@xyz.com: com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 450 Requested mail action not taken: mailbox unavailable.
Apologies this is not an issue with the library but an extra security step by Yahoo. I needed to setup an app password and then I was able to send via the library.

The same is true for Gmail and I was able to send via the gmail smtp server as well.
No worries ,I see you have been using this library a lot,so if you are building app that you will publish later I would like to put your app in show case section of the library. Keep it up with great work 👊
The app is already live and has existed for years. I'm happy for you to add it to the showcase section: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arlosoft.macrodroid
Thank you very much,I ll add it as soon as possible 🙏
Damn,I just saw number of downloads on your app and I have download that app too.Congratulations man I am really glad such app uses this library. 🎉
Well thanks to you I finally got around to adding the STMP email feature. This is only a spare time side project (albeit one that has spanned many years) so I always put off adding SMTP support because it seemed too much effort with no simple libraries until now!
What could be the app name if we are sending it through automation script?
@deepalitech9 can you elaborate on your question more? What are you trying to achieve?
