Again, if these are live credentials then I suggest you edit and remove the details ASAP.

Hi,

I have just tested your code, with and without attachments, with my own gmail credentials and all works OK. So the structure of your code is fine.

The best suggestion that I can therefore make is that the issue must be something to do with your gmail account. It may be worth having a chat with the guys at gmail.

Cheers,

Ian

the credentials are correct, it sends when there is no attachment but once i put one, it says FAILURES SENDING MAIL

 

[IanRyder]

That's why I mentioned checking your gmail account settings since there is nothing wrong with the actual code you have posted.

Good Luck.

Ian

Hi,

I am not so sure here since I have not had the same problem myself. If you speak to the guys at gmail, they may be able to help better.

Good Luck.

Ian
