To send mail using SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Choose an email client or scripting language that supports SMTP. Some common options include Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Gmail SMTP server, and Python's smtplib library.
  2. Set up your email client or script to use an SMTP server. This typically involves entering the SMTP server address, port number, and authentication details (username and password).
  3. Compose your email message with the desired recipient, subject, and body content.
  4. Use the appropriate function or method in your email client or script to send the email through the SMTP server.
  5. Ensure that your SMTP server allows for sending emails. Some SMTP servers have restrictions on sending emails to prevent spam.
  6. Test the email sending functionality by sending a test email to yourself or a known recipient.


Keep in mind that some email service providers may require additional authentication steps, such as enabling "less secure apps" or two-factor authentication, to send emails through their SMTP servers. Check the provider's documentation for specific instructions on setting up SMTP mail sending.
