Send Email Using yagmail in Python
Last Updated : 07 Oct, 2021
In this article, we are going to see how to send email using yagmail. yagmail(Yet Another Gmail) is a module in python which used to send emails using Python. This module is nothing, just a Gmail/SMTP(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) client that removes the issues of sending emails through Python. This helps the Web App to interact with Gmail without any issues.
Note: This makes Gmail accounts vulnerable to some unauthorized access, so to impose security in Gmail accounts, use OAuth2 credentials to get access rights.
Installation:
pip install yagmail
Register User Email ID:
By registering, we allow the yagmail to access our Gmail account in consent to send emails. There is a need for an SMTP client to provide the authentication to the client for sending an email.
yagmail.register("Sender's Gmail Username", "Sender's Gmail Password")
Connect to SMTP server:
To initiate a connection with the SMTP server using the SMTP client, use the command below.
yag = yagmail.SMTP("[email protected]")
Adding Content and Delivering:
- In 1st argument in send() function, pass the receiver's email address.
- Then in the 2nd one, pass the Subject of the Mail your sender is sending.
- Now in the 3rd one, pass the Content of Mail i.e text or media.
yag.send("[email protected]","Subject Of Mail","Content(Text, Media etc)")
Sending simple email:
Python3 # importing yagmail and its packages import yagmail # initiating connection with SMTP server yag = yagmail.SMTP("Sender's Email Address", "Sender's Email Address Password") # Adding Content and sending it yag.send("Receiver's Email Address", "Subject of Email to be send", "Content(Text,Media, etc. files) of Email to be send") Sending Email With Multiple Attachments

Syntax: yag.send("[email protected]","Subject Of Mail","Content Of Mail", attachments= ['Attachment1.png',' Attachment2.png',' Attachment3.png'])
Code:
Python3 # importing yagmail and its packages import yagmail # initiating connection with SMTP server yag = yagmail.SMTP("Sender's Email Address", "Sender's Email Address Password") # Adding multiple attachments and mailing them yag.send("[email protected]","Subject Of Mail","Content Of Mail", attachments=['Attachment1.png','Attachment2.png','Attachment3.png']) Output:
Sending Emails to Multiple Recipients
In "to" argument in send() function, pass the list of multiple receivers email addresses.
Syntax: yag.send(to=["[email protected]","[email protected]","[email protected]"], "Subject Of Mail","Content Of Mail")
Code:
Python3 # importing yagmail and its packages import yagmail # initiating connection with SMTP server yag = yagmail.SMTP("Sender's Email Address", "Sender's Email Address Password") # Adding multiple recipents name in "to" argument yag.send(to=["[email protected]","[email protected]", "[email protected]"],"Subject Of Mail","Content Of Mail") Output:

Syntax: yag.send(to="[email protected]",cc="[email protected]", bcc="[email protected]","Subject Of Mail","Content Of Mail")
Code:
Python3 # importing yagmail and its packages import yagmail # initiating connection with SMTP server yag = yagmail.SMTP("Sender's Email Address", "Sender's Email Address Password") # Passing other recipients name to cc and bcc arguments yag.send(to = "[email protected]", cc = "[email protected]", bcc = "[email protected]","Subject Of Mail","Content Of Mail") Output:
