Gmail servers use SMTP Authentication under SSL or TLS. I think that there is no way to use the mail() function under that circumstances, so you might want to check these alternatives: PEAR::Mail phpMailer Nette\Mail They all support SMTP auth under SSL. You’ll need to enable the php_openssl extension in your php.ini. Additional Resources: How … Read more
Found a solution after much brain-wracking. Instead of this: <!–[if mso]><v:shape>…</v:shape><![endif]–> <!–[if !mso]>[fallback goes here]<![endif]–> This works very well: <!–[if mso]> <v:shape>…</v:shape> <div style=”width:0px; height:0px; overflow:hidden; display:none; visibility:hidden; mso-hide:all;”> <![endif]–> [fallback goes here] <!–[if mso]></div><![endif]–> All it does is wrap the fallback in an invisible div in MSO, and deploys the vector solution instead. Hope … Read more

Sergey is close, but by default JavaMail’s list() does a LIST “” %, which gives you only top-level folders. GMail puts its system folders (All Mail, Drafts, Sent Mail, Spam, Starred, and Trash) under the non-selectable folder [Gmail], so you really need to do a LIST “” * instead. Otherwise, you’ll just get back INBOX, … Read more
I’ve heard back from Google support, and they’ve confirmed there are currently no plans to support SVG images in the proxy. They said they account for only 1 in 100,000 email images. Apart from PhantomJs, an option for simpler svg is the php plugin ImageMagick. Here’s some sample code to get you started: header(“Content-Type: image/png”); … Read more
After doing a lot of digging around, I started looking in to the python side of the message handling, and noticed that a python object is actually constructing the message to be sent for base64 encoding into the gmail-api message object constructor. See line 63 from above: message = MIMEText(message_text) The one trick that finally … Read more
base64 encoded images are not well supported in email. They aren’t supported in most web email clients (including Gmail) and are completely blocked in Outlook. Apple Mail is one of the few clients that does support them, that’s why you’re able to see them there but not elsewhere. Another thing to be mindful of with … Read more
The acronym stands for “Should have valid authentication” as noted here: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2010/07/gmails-shva-parameter.html As others have noted, 1 is the default value.
Using Linux or OSx, do what Sorin recommended but use port 465 instead. 25 is the generic SMTP port, but not what GMail uses. Also, I don’t believe you want to use -starttls smtp openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:465 You should get lots of information on the SSL session and the response: 220 mx.google.com … Type … Read more
