I create small form (Name, email, Subject, Message) in Flash. Want to send this by email using AS3 code.
Can we use this offline? Like, we fill all the detail and after submit then its go online and receive the detail in email
as #esimov said, security is not major concern then you have to use SMTPMailer, because your mail send in pure text form to the e-mail server. but if you want to use SMTPMailer then you can use some encryption and decryption method in it. This encryption packet with key are traceable. so If security is major concern then you must use airxmail written in actionscript so you can send and receive mail with SMTP, POP3, IMAP4 protocol. best example are given to send and recieve a mail.
May this will help you.
If you want to use an email client directly using Flash technology you need to stick with Flex. It has a robust backend interaction and even more it allows to do some cross scripting interactions.
However if you wish to use Flash and not Flex, actually there is an email sending application called SMTPMailer which sends attached files through emails with the Socket class available in the Player 9 and AS3. Please note, that for security reason is always better to send emails from the server side of the application. So another possibility would be to integrate the email sending part in a server side script.

Working on a project for my employer. They are searching for a solution to connect JSON to a email template.
For now, I look for a solution where the system who has the JSON, loads the JSON script on a server. Then, we connect that server with a marketing automation system, for example Marketo. We like to create an email template which loads the JSON.
The developer we found, says it is not possible and it will not work in gmail, outlook or any other client. For what I know, it is possible to create a email template with JSON right? Just to be sure, because when it is possible, our problem is not the system, but the developer.
Like to hear your thoughts on this subject. Suggestions are welcome.
So, this can be done, but you're going to need to do some custom development.
Marketo's API includes a request campaign endpoint for triggering Smart Campaigns, including those which send emails. As part of the request campaign payload, you can send {{my.token}} values for the campaign.
If you can set up some middleware between your JSON output that renders the HTML for your email, you can push that rendered HTML as a token in the campaign request, allowing for on-demand email creation based on your JSON content.
There are two caveats with this approach:
You will have to dynamically send the email using Request Campaign. That means if you need to send unique content to multiple folks, you'll be using one API call per email.
Due to the nature of Request Campaign triggers, you will not be able to batch and send using Marketo's controls; however, this should be straightforward to set up on the API side.
You can build an email using dynamic data, e.g. from an API that sends JSON.
However, you cannot send an email that calls dynamic data. The final email that gets sent must be static. That may be what your developer is getting at. Email software will strip out scripts.
I need to have a button on my as3 i-pad app which sends an e-mail to myself with data the i-pad has collected.
The app is only for self use it wont be put into the i-store.
Is it possible to send such an e-mail without having a server? Is it possible to do it with say a gmail account?
Thanks
This can be done with the Socket class using SMTP. Try SMTPMailer for an implementation of this.
Be warned, though, that it's quite easy to mis-use SMTP. Your best option is to just use a dedicated mail server.
Usually, when you send an e-mail (with Thunderbird or Outlook), you don't send it directly.
example: I have a gmail address and I want to send an e-mail to a myopera address. The process will be:
user->gmail server(gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com)->myopera server(in1.smtp.messagingengine.com)->final user who'll download it's email with pop/imap.
One of the inconvenient is the size: Imagine you have attachment of 50Mb: the limit of myopera is 60MB; but the limit of gmail is 25MB,So the mail will be refused whereas it would be accepted if it was send directly to myopera.
But I saw with telnet that, it is possible to send mail directly with SMTP commands.
I want to write a client-side Only web application which would convert a mail in a set of SMTP commands for sending it. I should be very basic and not support encryption
I don't know how to create a TCP connection from a client, so, here's my questions: Does a library already exist? If not, what I should use? I've read about the existence of WebSockets but that Ajax would be more universal.
Also, most of the actuals implementations of WebSocket I saw, don't work in my latests versions of web browser despite the fact they 'support it'. There's also the raw Socket API from the W3c (I've no idea of the web browsers which actually support it).So, I would like to not avoid statements telling it is impossible to create near raw TCP/UDP session. Since it is possible, I can't imagine nobody created a kind of library for dealing with protocols
You should take an alternative route.
If i had that issue i would still use a server side component of some sort, and just have the server contact to receiving mail server directly.
Given the email: "someuser#somedomain.tld" you could do a DNS MX record lookup on "somedomain.tld" and find the receiving mail server say "mail.somedomain.tld", then you could tell your mail send component to send the email directly to "mail.somedomain.tld", that way you would have an immediate feedback on whatever the mail went through or not.
For Objective-C you may use https://github.com/jetseven/skpsmtpmessage
By looking at the source you see how SMTP works.
i have made a static site with only html static pages but now i want a contact us from where in one can recieve the info entered by user via mail.so, basically i want to know whether i can send email using HTML like using javascript or something if yes then please help.
You can't send an email with just HTML (From the Front-End) unless you don't mind interacting with a third party service provider which can do the back-end process for you.
Otherwise, you need to use the Back-End, the most common and easiest way to do this is with PHP.
Your "send mail" code would ultimately have to execute on the server, which requires a postback from the HTML page, but the HTML page (or its (script) contents) can't (and shouldn't, even if possible) use local (the user's) settings and facilities to send email.
NO! JavaScript can’t email a form! but, there are alternatives to send the form data to an email address.
PHP mail() function is the best in my eye. Read more about it here: PHP mail() function
I have a web application, written in PHP, where we have a couple of files that regularly needs to be sent to multiple recipients. The client wishes to have the mail conversation in their mailbox, so the web app should not send the e-mails itself. Is it possible, and if so how, to do the following:
Create an e-mail with multiple recipients
Add text to the subject and body of the e-mail
Download and attach a zip file which is available on the server
The mail client in question is Outlook - I'm unsure of the exact version.
I'm open to suggestions on which technology to use for this - the client mentioned Visual Basic but I'm unsure of how I could use that on the client side of the web app - or if it's even appropriate.
Assuming that the client want's to send that by hand, you can do all that by using the mailto: in an tag and "&attachment=". The only problem is that attached files need to be localy accessable. If they are not, they are not attached. Exact syntax specifications can be found here: mailto: Syntax
If you have imap access to the customers mail server you could use php imap mail and php imap mail compose to create a email which will just show up in your customers sent email folder.
Also I there is a MIME Message class, where the author claims that it can create and save an email as an .eml file. MIME Class
This is theoretically possible, but only with IE on the client side, and with other limitations and tribulations.
How about a different approach: Have the web server send out the E-Mail, and send a copy into the client's mailbox. Mark the copy with a special header or something, and add a rule in the client's Outlook to sort mails with that header into a specific folder.
