I try to build an extension package but I get this error:

Mail.NewMessage("E-mail",'', '',Subject,Body,'',true);
Is there any replacement for this method for AL extensions

    Hi Mehdi,

    Try to use the CodeUnit "SMTP Mail" like:

    Var 
  varSMTPMail : Codeunit "SMTP Mail";

Begin

  varSMTPMail.CreateMessage(PSenderName,
                            PSenderAdress,
                            PRecipients,
                            PSubject,
                            PBody,
                            PTemplate.HTML);
  
  varSMTPMail.Send();

end;

    .
