Email Python 3 SMTPlib

Question

I am working on a simple program with Python 3.4 on Windows 8.1, and being a newcomer to programming, I am a bit stumped.

When I send myself an email to my Godaddy office 365 account, the only thing I can see is the title "No Subject", (I would like to have something there.) I can see the From field which is my email address, and the rest is blank. Nothing in the body of the email. I figured I would ask someone who has more experience than I do as to what I am doing wrong. Here is my code, cleaned up a bit.

#Send Email import smtplib server=smtplib.SMTP('smtp.office365.com',587) server.starttls() server.login('mylogininfo','mypassword') server.sendmail('[email protected]','[email protected]',"This is a test Pyhton Email")

I don't know if there is a better way of doing this but I am open to suggestions. Thanks Everyone.

You should create your email with MIMEMultipart as follows:

import smtplib from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.text import MIMEText def send_email(): to_emails= "[email protected]" message="Hi, this is the email body" s = smtplib.SMTP(host='smtp.office365.com', port=587) s.starttls() s.login('mylogininfo','mypassword') msg = MIMEMultipart() msg['From']='mylogininfo' msg['To']=to_emails msg['Subject']="My Subject" msg.attach(MIMEText(message, 'plain')) s.send_message(msg) del msg s.quit() send_email()
