Hi,

I’m trying to send an email from a gmail account. But I can’t. Is there something wrong with the fish?

Also ‘program mail from’ command cant be recognized by Flac3d

> program mail account

command changes the ‘from’ in the options.

Hi!

According to Itasca’s documentation, the `from` is optional and set with the `account` value by default.

Did you try without this line?

Regards

Théophile

Hi!

The command line doesn’t recognize the ‘from’ command, and it doesn’t work with Gmail. I tried without it but the main problem is that I can’t send an email. Could this be because of SSL/TSL protocols?

Thanks

It seems like Google closed the access from smtp protocoles due to security concerns.

I wanted to bypass the problem by using Python, and I ran accross this answer.

The thing is, the solution proposed by the poster above is not available anymore.  
There seems to be a solution by configuring an app password in Gmail.

Hopefully, it will solve your problem!

Hi Theophile,

Thanks. I worked with fish functions and workarounds from your links. Now I can send emails when the analysis is finished 🙂

Cheers!
