Email management and automation with attachment support.
## Features
- Send emails with attachments
- Support for multiple email providers (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.)
- HTML and plain text email support
- CC and BCC recipients
- Test email functionality
- Secure TLS/SSL connections
## Setup Instructions
### 1. Configure Email Credentials
Create a configuration file `email_config.json` in your workspace:
```json
{
"smtp_server": "smtp.gmail.com",
"smtp_port": 587,
"username": "your-email@gmail.com",
"password": "your-app-password",
"sender_name": "OpenClaw Assistant",
"use_tls": true,
"use_ssl": false
}
```
### 2. For Gmail Users (Recommended)
1. Enable 2-factor authentication on your Google account
2. Generate an App Password:
- Go to https://myaccount.google.com/security
- Under "Signing in to Google," select "App passwords"
- Generate a new app password for "Mail"
- Use this 16-character password in your config
### 3. Alternative: Environment Variables
Set these environment variables instead of using a config file:
```bash
# Windows
set SMTP_SERVER=smtp.gmail.com
set SMTP_PORT=587
set EMAIL_USERNAME=your-email@gmail.com
set EMAIL_PASSWORD=your-app-password
set EMAIL_SENDER_NAME="OpenClaw Assistant"
# macOS/Linux
export SMTP_SERVER=smtp.gmail.com
export SMTP_PORT=587
export EMAIL_USERNAME=your-email@gmail.com
export EMAIL_PASSWORD=your-app-password
export EMAIL_SENDER_NAME="OpenClaw Assistant"
```
## Usage Examples
### Send a Simple Email
```bash
python email_sender.py --to "recipient@example.com" --subject "Hello" --body "This is a test email"
```
### Send Email with Attachment
```bash
python email_sender.py --to "recipient@example.com" --subject "Report" --body "Please find attached" --attachment "report.pdf" --attachment "data.xlsx"
```
### Send Test Email

python email_sender.py --to "your-email@gmail.com" --test
```

## Python API Usage
```python
from email_sender import EmailSender
# Initialize with config file
sender = EmailSender("email_config.json")
# Send email with attachment
result = sender.send_email(
to_email="recipient@example.com",
subject="Important Document",
body="Please review the attached document.",
attachments=["document.pdf", "data.csv"]
)
if result["success"]:
print(f"Email sent with {result['attachments']} attachments")
else:
print(f"Error: {result['error']}")
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues:
1. **Authentication Failed**
- Verify your username and password
- For Gmail: Use app password instead of regular password
- Check if 2FA is enabled
2. **Connection Refused**
- Verify SMTP server and port
- Check firewall settings
- Try different port (465 for SSL)
3. **Attachment Too Large**
- Most providers limit attachments to 25MB
- Consider compressing files or using cloud storage links
## Security Notes
- Never commit email credentials to version control
- Use environment variables for production deployments
- Regularly rotate app passwords
- Consider using dedicated email accounts for automation
