Frank Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Hello... I have never used ME to send an email in a macro... I am trying to set it up with no luck... I would like to use my gmail account / settings but can use yahoo... Any advice or suggestions on how to set up? Thanks, F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 It's easy and straightforward. I've only used the mail servers from my Office other accounts accounts, but it's the same for all SMTP. Find your settings at the Google help site and configure the mail server connections in Preferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted June 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Thanks for the reply... I tried that set up and tried the different ports (25,465) when i run the macro i get an error that says SCRIPT ERROR Message could not be sent "already connected" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 25 is non encrypted. Gmail will not accept that. 465 is for SSL, the older protocol, and 587 is TLS which I'm guessing is what they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cory Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 I have no idea what that means. https://sendpulse.com/ I just thought of something else. I had problems with some equipment no working with an SMTP server. I signed up for a free account from these guys and it worked great. Provided you're not sending a huge number of emails, this works well. There are many others like this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cory Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 The Email Send command is much simpler. It's the top one under the Internet group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted June 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 i know, that is why i am TRYING to set up smtp and have issues... I tried gmail (both a free gmail and a paid workspace) and no luck. the company you suggested, how would that work with the macro? F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 The same. You configure MEP with the the SMTP server parameters and use the simple Email Send command. Host, port, credentials. email address and display name. That's it. Preferences > Email > SMTP Settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted June 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 I am using MEP 4.9.1.1 I signed up with pulse did the options>preferences>email>smtp setup and still no luck. any suggestions? F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Do you have security software that's blocking MEP? What error are you getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted June 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 the only security is windows and i added MAP to exceptions... The macro is a 1 line macro - <EMAIL SEND Prompt_for_Recipients="FALSE" To="frank@gmail.com" Read_Receipt="FALSE" Subject_Mode="\x00" Subject="eee" Body="eee" Attach_Mode="\x00"/>) port 2525 - Message could not be sent port 465 - Macro just runs. nothing happens. have to terminate MEP in order to move on... (clicking on green running man does nothing) port 587 - same as 465 F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 I don't know. You should start a trouble ticket with ISS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted June 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 what is ISS? (pulse or MEP) let me clarify what i have, maybe this all my fault. smtp settings - those are correct. the macro i made is one line only...EMAIL SEND I run macro and get the errors / issues I mentioned above F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 ISS = Insight Software Solutions is the maker of MEP. https://www.macros.com/supportrequest/ If you have all the settings correct in MEP you should only need the one line. Since you have tried multiple SMTP servers it sounds like something besides MEP is causing it not to send. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
