How to send an e-mail from your Gmail account using Python

To send an email from gmail, you need to have the following details

1. Your gmail Id
2. Your password
3. You need to allow less secure apps here - https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps [login required ]

# smtplib helps in sending emails
import smtplib

# This is SMTP server details of Gmail, to create SMTP session
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)

# Start TLS for security
server.starttls()

# Provide your username and password of gmail account
server.login("your.emailId@gmail.com", "YourPassWord")

# Provide your message body (email body) that you want to send
msg = "HI!"
server.sendmail("your.emailId@gmail.com", "To.EmailID@gmail.com", msg)
server.quit()

If you want to send an email with Subject, you need to change msg details as follows

msg = 'Subject:{}\n\n{}'.format("this is subject", "this is body")
