Here I’d like to explain version 2 of the EMailSender library, significant evolution to version 1, with support for Arduino with w5100, w5200, and w5500 ethernet shields enc28J60 clone devices, and support for esp32 and esp8266 . You can also add attachments loaded from storage devices like SD, SPIFFS, o LittleFS for esp8266.
You can refer to version 1 on this library Send emails with esp8266 and Arduino
Introduction
A simple method to notify a problem is to use email, so I created a library to do It.
Send email with attachments esp8266 esp32 library
This library uses the SMTP:
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol ( SMTP ) is a communication protocol for electronic mail transmission. As an Internet standard, SMTP was first defined in 1982 by RFC 821, and updated in 2008 by RFC 5321 to Extended SMTP additions, which is the protocol variety in widespread use today. Mail servers and other message transfer agents use SMTP to send and receive mail messages. Proprietary systems such as Microsoft Exchange and IBM Notes and webmail systems such as Outlook.com, Gmail and Yahoo! Mail may use non-standard protocols internally, but all use SMTP when sending to or receiving email from outside their own systems. SMTP servers commonly use the Transmission Control Protocol on port number 25. (cit WiKi)
For example, I use a Gmail dedicated account; I create a new account because you must reduce Security to use It with an external program.
Library
You can find my library here , or just search for EMailSender on the Arduino IDE library manager.
To download.
Click the DOWNLOADS button in the top right corner, rename the uncompressed folder EMailSender.
Check that the EMailSender folder contains EMailSender.cpp and EMailSender.h.
Place the EMailSender library folder in your /libraries/ folder.
You may need to create the libraries subfolder if it’s your first library.
Restart the IDE.
Usage
Constructor: The default value is quite simple and uses Gmail as an SMTP server.
1
EMailSender emailSend(
"smtp.account@gmail.com"
,
"password"
);
If you want to use another provider, you can use a more complex (but simple) constructor

EMailSender(
const
char
* email_login,
const
char
* email_password,
const
char
* email_from,
const
char
* name_from,
const
char
* smtp_server,
uint16_t
smtp_port );
EMailSender(
const
char
* email_login,
const
char
* email_password,
const
char
* email_from,
const
char
* smtp_server,
uint16_t
smtp_port);
EMailSender(
const
char
* email_login,
const
char
* email_password,
const
char
* email_from,
const
char
* name_from );
EMailSender(
const
char
* email_login,
const
char
* email_password,
const
char
* email_from);
EMailSender(
const
char
* email_login,
const
char
* email_password);
email_login
: login to account SMTP
email_password: password account SMTP
email_from: email of the sender
name_from: the user name of the sender
smtp_server
: server SMTP
smtp_port
: SMTP port
You can also manage di parameter in realtime with these commands:
1
2
3
4
5
6
void
setSMTPPort(uint16_t smtp_port);
void
setSMTPServer(
const
char
*
smtp_server);
void
setEMailLogin(
const
char
*
email_login);
void
setEMailFrom(
const
char
*
email_from);
void
setNameFrom(
const
char
*
name_from);
void
setEMailPassword(
const
char
*
email_password);
Now respect to the v1.x library, you can note that isSecure flag no more exists
isSecure = false
: if false BearSSL allows for ‘insecure’ TLS connections (only for >2.4.2 esp8266 core)
but you can manage It with
1
void
setIsSecure(
bool
isSecure =
false
);
Another parameter that you can set post constructor is
1
2
void
setUseAuth(
bool
useAuth =
true
);
void
setPublicIpDescriptor(
const
char
*publicIpDescriptor =
"mischianti"
);
The first permit excludes the authentication handshake, the second change the HELO message identification.
Updated: 02/01/2021 (v2.1.5)
The other two additional configurations are
1
2
void
setEHLOCommand(bool useEHLO
=
false
)
void
setSASLLogin(bool isSASLLogin
=
false
)
The first change HELO command in EHLO, is needed by Postfix SMTP servers.
The second activates SASL login, so the login and password are sent all in one line.
You must connect to WIFI :P.
Basic example with Gmail SMTP
Create a message with the structure EMailMessage
1
2
3
EMailSender::EMailMessage message;
message.subject =
"Subject"
;
message.message =
"Hi, How are you<br>Fine."
;
Send message:
1
EMailSender::Response resp = emailSend.send(
"account_to_send@gmail.com"
, message);
Then check the response:
1
2
3
4
Serial.println(
"Sending status: "
);
Serial.println(resp.code);
Serial.println(resp.desc);
Serial.println(resp.status);
Example output:
1
2
3
4
5
6
Connection: ESTABLISHED
Got IP address: 192.168.1.104
Sending status:
1
0
Message sent!
You can send to a list of emails and select a CC or CCn; for example, send to 3 email
1
2
const
char
* arrayOfEmail[] = {
"<FIRST>@gmail.com"
,
"<SECOND>@yahoo.com"
,
"<THIRD>@hotmail.com"
};
EMailSender::Response resp = emailSend.send(arrayOfEmail, 3, message);
or to 3 emails, the first as To and the last as CC
1
2
const
char
* arrayOfEmail[] = {
"<FIRST>@gmail.com"
,
"<SECOND>@yahoo.com"
,
"<THIRD>@hotmail.com"
};
EMailSender::Response resp = emailSend.send(arrayOfEmail, 1, 2, message);
or first as To, second as CC, and third as CCn
1
2
const
char
* arrayOfEmail[] = {
"<FIRST>@gmail.com"
,
"<SECOND>@yahoo.com"
,
"<THIRD>@hotmail.com"
};
EMailSender::Response resp = emailSend.send(arrayOfEmail, 1,1,1, message);
esp8266
I usually use WeMos D1 mini for my test
You can find WeMos D1 mini here WeMos D1 mini - NodeMCU V2 V2.1 V3 - esp01 - esp01 programmer
To send an email with esp8266 with builtin WiFi is quite simple, but you must pay attention to your core version because if you have a core version lesser or equal to 2.4.2, you must select a specified #define
.
To select your device, you must go on EMailSenderKey.h
library file and replace this line
1
#define DEFAULT_EMAIL_NETWORK_TYPE_ESP8266 NETWORK_ESP8266
in
1
#define DEFAULT_EMAIL_NETWORK_TYPE_ESP8266 NETWORK_ESP8266_242
Backward compatibility with library v1.x
To grant backward compatibility with library version 1.x, you can also uncomment the identical define of the old library.
So if you have an esp8266 core 2.4.2 or less, you must uncomment this line
1
2
#define ARDUINO_ESP8266_RELEASE_2_4_2
Send simple email
So here is an example of a simple EMail sent with a GMail provider (configure GMail as described at the end of the article).

Send an email with attachments.
Send an email with attachments Arduino esp8266 esp32 test with image and text.
To send attachments, you must select a storage device. To simplify the management, we are going to use SPIFFS integrated filesystem; refer to this article on how to put data on SPIFFS “WeMos D1 mini (esp8266), integrated SPIFFS Filesystem “, but you can select LittleFS also “WeMos D1 mini (esp8266), integrated LittleFS Filesystem “.
Updated: 19/03/2021 (v2.3.0)
Select LittleFS filesystem
From version 2.3.0, you can switch from SPIFFS to LittleFS. You must only change this line in the file. EMailSenderKey.h
.
1
#define DEFAULT_INTERNAL_ESP8266_STORAGE STORAGE_SPIFFS
in
1
#define DEFAULT_INTERNAL_ESP8266_STORAGE STORAGE_LITTLEFS
and set the correct storage
1
fileDescriptor[
1
].storageType
=
EMailSender::EMAIL_STORAGE_TYPE_LITTLE_FS;
The core of the code is the generation of structure to pass the information to load and stream the files.

EMailSender::FileDescriptior fileDescriptor[2];
fileDescriptor[1].filename = F(
"test.txt"
);
fileDescriptor[1].url = F(
"/test.txt"
);
fileDescriptor[1].storageType = EMailSender::EMAIL_STORAGE_TYPE_SPIFFS;
fileDescriptor[0].filename = F(
"logo.jpg"
);
fileDescriptor[0].url = F(
"/logo.jpg"
);
fileDescriptor[0].mime =
"image/jpg"
;
fileDescriptor[0].encode64 =
true
;
fileDescriptor[0].storageType = EMailSender::EMAIL_STORAGE_TYPE_SPIFFS;
EMailSender::Attachments attachs = {2, fileDescriptor};
EMailSender::Response resp = emailSend.send(
"<receipe@gmail.com>"
, message, attachs);
The fields EMailSender::FileDescriptior are pretty comprehensive but pay attention to encode64, which specifies if you want to encode all the content, this is useful if some special character is not supported. For images, if you don’t specify the encode64 probably, they arrive with an artifact.
But pay attention; encoding a big file requires a bit of time.
The field mime specifies the mime type of the file you want to be attached. Here are some examples of existing mime types.
Then you must specify the storageType
, in general, we only support SD and SPIFFS; for Arduino, only SD.
The filename
and url
the filename is the name that appears to the receiver, and the URL is where the file is located in the FS selected.
Than in the EMailSender::Attachments
you must specify the number of attachments and set the array of EMailSender::FileDescriptior
.
The resulting code is this.

ESP32
You can find some model of esp32 I use for my test ESP32 Dev Kit v1 - TTGO T-Display 1.14 ESP32 - NodeMCU V3 V2 ESP8266 Lolin32 - NodeMCU ESP-32S - WeMos Lolin32 - WeMos Lolin32 mini - ESP32-CAM programmer - ESP32-CAM bundle - ESP32-WROOM-32 - ESP32-S
Send an email with attachments Arduino esp8266 esp32 test with image and txt
ESP32 is very similar to esp8266, and SD and SPIFFS without FS_NO_GLOBALS
work correctly because use the same FS.h File
structure.
So we can now repeat the consideration of esp8266 implementation.

The field EMailSender::FileDescriptior is quite comprehensive, but pay attention to encode64, which specifies if you want to encode all the content, this is useful if some special character is not supported. For images, if you don’t specify the encode64 probably, they arrive with an artifact.
But pay attention; encoding a big file requires a bit of time.
The filed mime specifies the mime type of the file you want to be attached. Here are some examples of existing mime types.
Then you must specify the storageType in general; we only support SD and SPIFFS, for Arduino, only SD.
The filename
and url
the filename is the name that appears to the receiver, and the URL is where the file is located in the FS selected.
Than in the EMailSender::Attachments
you must specify the number of attachments and set the array of EMailSender::FileDescriptior
.
The resulting code is this.

How to use a Gmail account
By default, you can’t use a Gmail SMTP account, and there are two ways to activate these features.
Allow less secure apps to access your Gmail account
Google may block sign-in attempts from some apps or devices that do not use modern security standards. Since these apps and devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps keep your account safe.
To disable this security feature:
Sign in to Gmail
Click here to access Less Secure App Access in My Account.
Next to “Allow less secure apps: OFF ,” select the toggle switch to turn ON .
This setting may not be available for:
For G-Suite users: Enabling less secure apps to access accounts (deprecated)
Sign in to your Google Admin console (Sign in using an administrator account , not your current account.
Click Security> Basic settings .
Under Less secure apps , select Go to settings for less secure apps .
Select the Allow users to manage their access to a less secure apps radio button in the subwindow.
Once you’ve set Allow users to manage their access to less secure apps to on, affected users within the selected group or Organizational Unit will be able to toggle access for less secure apps on or off themselves.
G-Suite admins: Enforcing access to less secure apps for all users
Use this setting when you want to ensure that access by a less secure app is available to all for a limited time, such as for upgrades.
Sign in to your Google Admin console. Sign in using an administrator account
Click Security> Basic settings .
Under Less secure apps , select Go to settings for less secure apps .
In the subwindow, select the Enforce access to less secure apps for all users radio button.
Once you’ve set Enforce access to less secure apps for all users to on, affected users within the selected group or Organizational Unit will not be able to toggle access for less secure apps off themselves. You will have to set the setting back to Allow users to manage their access to less secure apps to allow them to toggle access for less secure apps on or off themselves.
Create an application password
Google account security 2 Step verification and application password
Go to the Gmail security settings page: https://myaccount.google.com/security
First, you must enable 2-factor identification.
Then you need to create a password for this application. The password is a 16-character string, copy it and use it as your regular SMTP Gmail account password!
Send an email with attachments GMail application password
