Question:

SMTP w/ TLS support to Connect to GMail?

Sep 20 '12 at 10:25

Can you please recommend me an approach and some of your libraries. I am going to develop Win32 program for Win7 that should connect to gmail.com and send files as attachments so i need SMTP with TLS support library. I've already managed with the base64 encoding so now i need to develop the connection part.

Answer

You would use the Chilkat Email library/component. I'm assuming you're developing in C++? In that case you would download from here:

Examples are located here:

Reference documentation here:

(see the documentation for CkMailMan)
