mail plugin

Classic Servoy
1

I am using the mail plug in to send mail. It was working fine in version 2.1.1. Does not work in 2.2.2 or 2.2.3. I am not sending attachments. I do not require authentication so the only property I am passing to the plug in is the SMTP HOST. I have used exactly the same code with different versions of Servoy and it quit working after 2.1.1.

Hi can you provide us your method?

I had some troubles too sending emails, but they are fixed in 2.2.3.

(I noticed, if you have leading or trailing spaces in the emailadres, it wil fail also!)

I tried to send an email attachment as I used to, I had not changed any code and I was getting an error. I saw this post and just downloaded the new beta :

Servoy Developer
Version R2 2.2.3-build 335
Java version 1.4.2_04-b05 (Windows XP)

It will not send mail, and as I step through the debugger, I cant tell why it is not successful:

//print the current form as pdf into a variable
var success = plugins.pdf_output.startMetaPrintJob()
if (success)
{
controller.print(false,false,plugins.pdf_output.getPDFPrinter());
}
var thePdf = plugins.pdf_output.endMetaPrintJob()
var attachment1 = plugins.mail.createBinaryAttachment(‘TSEServiceEstimate.pdf’,thePdf);
try
{
var succes = plugins.mail.sendMail(globals.Text6,currentuserglobal_to_employee_by_id.email,‘TSE Service Estimate’ +’ '+order_number,globals.Text5,null,null,new Array(attachment1));
if (!succes)
{
plugins.dialogs.showWarningDialog(‘Alert’,‘Failed to send email’,‘OK’);
}
} catch(theErr)
{
plugins.dialogs.showWarningDialog(‘Alert’,‘Failed to send email\nError:’ + theErr,‘OK’);
}

//print form option
var thePressedButton = plugins.dialogs.showQuestionDialog(‘Print Option’,‘Would you like to print a Service Estimate’,‘YES’,‘NO’)
if(thePressedButton == ‘YES’)
{
globals.Date3 = application.getTimeStamp();
controller.print(true);
}

Any Ideas?

if you do this

var succes = plugins.mail.sendMail(globals.Text6,currentuserglobal_to_employee_by_id.email,‘TSE Service Estimate’ +’ '+order_number,globals.Text5,null,null,new Array(attachment1));

it is hard to debug!

try to do this:

var a = globals.Text6
var b = currentuserglobal_toemployee_by_id.email
var c = 'TSE… etc

and than: var succes = plugins.mail.sendMail(a,b,c, etc…

now you can check in the debugger if every field is filled in correctly!
Hope this helps

Ok, I Think I figured it out,
I cannot send mail from myself,

but I can send it to myself from someone else, or to someone else from someone else.

Does that make any sense?

I have the same problem, cannot send mail anymore…

Servoy Developer
Version R2 2.2.2-build 334
Java version 1.4.2_05-b04 (Windows XP)

method:
var succes = plugins.mail.sendMail(‘stef@willcom.be’, ‘jack@sssm.be’, ‘subject’, ‘aaa’)

Error shown:
SMTPSend java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -

Help!

TIA

Stef, this was indeed an error in 2.2.2
update to 2.2.3 and it will be fixed!

Thanks, Harjo…and shame on me!

Best regards,
