Sending email from Window CVI

Hello,

 

Can someone tell me how to send email via Window CVI 2017?

I am not sure what to enter in the "SMTP Server" field if I want to use either yahoo or gmail?

 

Thanks in advance!

It is interesting to know that the "SMTP Client.vi" program in LabView works!

I noticed that the difference between the "Sendmail.cws" in CVI vs. the "SMTP Client.vi" program in LabView is that the "SMTP Client.vi" program in LabView has the optional fields:

1) Username

2) Password

and 3) Port number.

 

In speaking with an NI application engineer, it seems that the "Sendmail.cws" in CVI might have defaulted to Port #25.  However both Yahoo and Google SMTP accept Port 465 or 587.

I read from Google that port #25 is not recommended because it is not encrypted. 

 

At this moment, I am looking for a 3rd party CVI solution provider to see if they can take the "Sendmail.cws" in CVI to include the username, password, and port number fields.

If you are a 3rd party CVI solution provider, do let me know!

 

Thank you for all your help and valuable suggestions!
