Sending a gmail using ruby

Ruby
1

please help analyzing this code and please give me some recommendations.
I am trying to send an email from one gmail account to another. The
first error I am getting is that my password for my gmail is not being
accepted by the code. Please offer a solution to this or point me to a
code that has worked for you in sending gmail.

I have installed the gmail gem. I am using ruby 2.0.0p195

the code I am using is:

require ‘gmail’
gmail = Gmail.new([email protected], password)

gmail.deliver do
to “[email protected]”
subject “Not feeling well”
text_part do
body “I won’t be coming in today.”
end
html_part do
body “

I won’t be coming in today.

”
end
end

gmail.logout

Try connecting first. That works for me.

require ‘highline/import’
require ‘gmail’

password = ask("Password: ") { |q| q.echo = “*” }

@gmail = Gmail.connect(“[email protected]”, password)

email = @gmail.compose do
to “[email protected]”
subject “blah blah blah”
body “blah blah blah”
end

@gmail.deliver(email)
@gmail.logout

thanks but it seems like you have a different version of Ruby because I
am getting an error :in ‘’: Undefined method ‘connect’ for
Gmail:Class

I am using the code that you provided. Any ideas?

Huh. It doesn’t work for me in 2.0.0 but I don’t get the same error as
you.
My Gmail does have the connect method.

2.0.0p0 :001 > require ‘gmail’
=> true
2.0.0p0 :002 > Gmail.respond_to?(“connect”)
=> true
2.0.0p0 :003 >

Instead I get the following error when I try to connect
OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read
server key exchange B: bad ecpoint

yeah, I will let you know if I figure out something helpful

Do you have highline and import installed?

The ask method wouldn’t work for me without the highline gem. Maybe the
connect method comes from another gem?

Out of curiosity why bother with such ‘gmail’ gem? After all, Gmail is
just SMTP for sending and IMAP/POP for retrieving emails. Like every
other email systems in the world.

So what’s special about ‘sending a gmail’? What about just ‘sending an
email’?

not sure but that may be a possibility. I am pretty new to Ruby

I send automated emails from a gmail account occasionally, using the
‘mail’ gem.

This link was quite helpful in setting it up:

all I really want to do is send an email. It just happened that I was
using gmail.

Unless your IQ is over 200 that sounds like an easy $50. Now stop
hijacking threads.

16

Not really. There are several people who can’t unsubscribe and are
trying
to, right now. The instructions do not work.

By the way, I’ll bet you $50 bucks that my IQ is 50 points higher than
yours. lol

That claim requires independent documented proof, otherwise, you’re
just another dog on the internet like us.
