Sending Email through Gmail using VB 6.0

Hi,

Here is a sample code that is used to send emails from any SMPT server using CDO in Visual Basic 6.0.
Here first i have added a reference to the project by navigating to Project -> references and adding Microsoft CDO for windows 2000 Library.

Sub SendEmail()

Set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
Set Flds = iConf.Fields

' send one copy with Google SMTP server (with autentication)
schema = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"
Flds.Item(schema & "sendusing") = 2
Flds.Item(schema & "smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com"
Flds.Item(schema & "smtpserverport") = 465
Flds.Item(schema & "smtpauthenticate") = 1
Flds.Item(schema & "sendusername") =  Username@gmail.com
Flds.Item(schema & "sendpassword") = password
Flds.Item(schema & "smtpusessl") = 1
Flds.Update

With iMsg
.To = To
.From = username@gmail.com
.Subject = "Mail from gmail"
.HTMLBody = "Test message using CDO in vb6 from Gmail smtp"
Set .Configuration = iConf
.Send
End With

Set iMsg = Nothing
Set iConf = Nothing
Set Flds = Nothing

End Sub

If you need to send mail from .Net here is the procedure.
