Example code for sending an email via SMTP with TLS encryption in Python.

smtp_example.py

import smtplib

# initialize connection to our email server, we will use Outlook here
smtp = smtplib.SMTP('smtp-mail.outlook.com', port='587')

smtp.ehlo()  # send the extended hello to our server
smtp.starttls()  # tell server we want to communicate with TLS encryption

smtp.login('joe.bloggs@outlook.com', 'Password123')  # login to our email server

# send our email message 'msg' to our boss
smtp.sendmail('joe.bloggs@outlook.com',
              'joes.boss@outlook.com',
              msg.as_string())
              
smtp.quit()  # finally, don't forget to close the connection

The msg is missing.

The msg is missing.

Same boat for me, this was useful.

from email.message import EmailMessage
message = EmailMessage()

Another workaround is to replace msg.as_string() with your own string, ie. "hello world!"
