SMTP Client for Qt (C++) - Version 2.0 Beta
=============================================
The SmtpClient for Qt is small library writen for Qt 4 (C++ version) that allows application to send complex emails (plain text, html, attachments, inline files, etc.) using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
##New in version 2.0:
- Asynchronous & Synchronous working mode
- Qt5 compatibility
- code of SmtpClient refactored and partially rewrited
##New in version 1.1:
- TLS (STARTTLS) connection is now supported
- multiple types of recipients (to, cc, bcc)
- nested mime emails (mixed/alternative, mixed/related)
- output compilant with RFC2045
## SMPT Client for Qt supports
- TCP and SSL connections to SMTP servers
- SMTP authentication (PLAIN and LOGIN methods)
- sending MIME emails (to multiple recipients)
- plain text and HTML (with inline files) content in emails
- multiple attachments and inline files (used in HTML)
- different character sets (ascii, utf-8, etc) and encoding methods (7bit, 8bit, base64)
- error handling
## Examples
Lets see a simple example:
```c++
#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "../src/SmtpMime"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
// This is a first demo application of the SmtpClient for Qt project
// First we need to create an SmtpClient object
// We will use the Gmail's smtp server (smtp.gmail.com, port 465, ssl)
SmtpClient smtp("smtp.gmail.com", 465, SmtpClient::SslConnection);
// We need to set the username (your email address) and the password
// for smtp authentification.
smtp.setUser("your_email_address@gmail.com");
smtp.setPassword("your_password");
// Now we create a MimeMessage object. This will be the email.
MimeMessage message;
message.setSender(new EmailAddress("your_email_address@gmail.com", "Your Name"));
message.addRecipient(new EmailAddress("recipient@host.com", "Recipient's Name"));
message.setSubject("SmtpClient for Qt - Demo");
// Now add some text to the email.
// First we create a MimeText object.
MimeText text;
text.setText("Hi,\nThis is a simple email message.\n");
// Now add it to the mail
message.addPart(&text);
// Now we can send the mail
smtp.connectToHost();
smtp.waitForReadyConnected();
smtp.login();
smtp.waitForAuthenticated();
smtp.sendMail(message);
smtp.waitForMailSent();
smtp.quit();
}
```
