Hi All,

I am trying new SMTP functionality to send emails through my AL code but it is not working. I am not sure if I am missing something. Below is my sample code:-

page 60181 HelloWorldExt

{

ApplicationArea = All;

Caption = 'Test Email';

UsageCategory = tasks;

trigger OnOpenPage();

begin

SendEmail();

Message('Message Send');

end;

procedure SendEmail()

var

TxtDefaultCCMailList: List of [Text];

TxtDefaultBCCMailList: List of [Text];

TxtRecipientsList: List of [Text];

begin

EmailAccount.Reset();

EmailAccount.SetFilter(Connector, 'SMTP');

if EmailAccount.FindLast() then;

TxtRecipientsList.Add('xxxx@xxxx.com');

EmaiMsg.Create(

TxtRecipientsList,

'Subject - Test Email',

'Body - This is Email Body',

false

);

EmailObj.Send(EmaiMsg, Enum::"Email Scenario"::Default);

end;

Var

EmailObj: Codeunit "Email";

EmaiMsg: Codeunit "Email Message";

EmailAccount: Record "Email Account";

}

Thanks,

Amit

I also had that problem in the beginning - solved it with adding the necessary permissions to the mail boxes.

You can find it in the exchange admin tool:

Mailboxes -> Mailbox Permissions ->Manage mailbox delegate -> Send as

Not an uncommon error. I think smtp connection by default is off on Office365 mail accounts. So they need to be enabled before you can use them like SMTP accounts in Business Central. We are here if you need further assistance.

Thanks, Inge for quick reply. I checked "Email Outbox" and there it is giving me "Cannot authenticate the credentials on server smtp.office365.com." error. I will work with admin and correct this issue and will come back if it is still not resolved.

Thanks,

Amit.

RE: Send email using email message

The way you have organized your code makes it necessary to define it because you have used it in your code.

You can send the message with out using a scenario but just refer to the email account instead.

Send(EmailMessage: Codeunit "Email Message"; EmailAccount: Record "Email Account" temporary): Boolean

Emailobj.Send(EmailMsg;EmailAccount);

Should work for you.

But i think you should define your EmailAccount variable as temporary because that is compliant with the send methods signature.

Hi Inge,

I didn't defined default scenario. I am not able to understand why we have to define default scenario.

Is it required.

Thanks,

Amit

Just by looking at your code it looks ok. But i have not tried to run it.

Just som things to check.

Have you defined a default scenario?

Can you see the email you try to send in the outgoing mail queue and see what status it got there?
