Otherwise, use the smtplib that comes with python. Note that this will require your email account allows smtp, which is not necessarily enabled by default.
SERVER = "smtp.example.com"
FROM = "yourEmail@example.com"
TO = ["listOfEmails"] # must be a list
SUBJECT = "Subject"
TEXT = "Your Text"
# Prepare actual message
message = """From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\nSubject: %s\r\n\
%s
""" % (FROM, ", ".join(TO), SUBJECT, TEXT)
# Send the mail
import smtplib
server = smtplib.SMTP(SERVER)
server.sendmail(FROM, TO, message)
server.quit()
EDIT: this example uses reserved domains like described in RFC2606
SERVER = "smtp.example.com"
FROM = "johnDoe@example.com"
TO = ["JaneDoe@example.com"] # must be a list
SUBJECT = "Hello!"
TEXT = "This is a test of emailing through smtp of example.com."
# Prepare actual message
message = """From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\nSubject: %s\r\n\
%s
""" % (FROM, ", ".join(TO), SUBJECT, TEXT)
# Send the mail
import smtplib
server = smtplib.SMTP(SERVER)
server.login("MrDoe", "PASSWORD")
server.sendmail(FROM, TO, message)
server.quit()
For it to actually work with gmail, Mr. Doe will need to go to the options tab in gmail and set it to allow smtp connections.
Note the addition of the login line to authenticate to the remote server. The original version does not include this, an oversight on my part.
import win32com.client as win32
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'To address'
mail.Subject = 'Message subject'
mail.Body = 'Message body'
mail.HTMLBody = '<h2>HTML Message body</h2>' #this field is optional
# To attach a file to the email (optional):
attachment = "Path to the attachment"
mail.Attachments.Add(attachment)
mail.Send()
I wanted to send email using SMTPLIB, its easier and it does not require local setup. After other answers were not directly helpful, This is what i did.
Open Outlook in a browser; Go to the top right corner, click the gear icon for Settings, Choose 'Options' from the appearing drop-down list.
Go to 'Accounts', click 'Pop and Imap',
You will see the option: "Let devices and apps use pop",
Choose Yes option and Save changes.
Here is the code there after; Edit where neccesary.
Most Important thing is to enable POP and the server code herein;
import smtplib
body = 'Subject: Subject Here .\nDear ContactName, \n\n' + 'Email\'s BODY text' + '\nYour :: Signature/Innitials'
try:
smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('smtp-mail.outlook.com', 587)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp-mail.outlook.com', 465)
#type(smtpObj)
smtpObj.ehlo()
smtpObj.starttls()
smtpObj.login('me@outlook.com', "password")
smtpObj.sendmail('sender@outlook.com', 'recipient@gmail.com', body) # Or recipient@outlook
smtpObj.quit()
pass

# or just use this instead of .display() if you want to send immediately
newMail.Send()

This is a pretty old question but there is one more solution. The current Outlook SMTP server is (as of 2022):
Host: smtp.office365.com
Port: 587 (for TLS)
Probably the easiest and cleanest solution is to use Red Mail that has these already set:
pip install redmail
Then:
from redmail import outlook
outlook.user_name = "example@hotmail.com"
outlook.password = "<MY PASSWORD>"
outlook.send(
receivers=["you@example.com"],
subject="An example",
text="Hi, this is an example."
)
