# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
mailman = chilkat2.MailMan()

# Set the SMTP server.
mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.chilkatsoft.com"

# Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
mailman.SmtpUsername = "myUsername"
mailman.SmtpPassword = "myPassword"

# Create a new email object
email = chilkat2.Email()

email.Subject = "This is a vcard test"
email.Body = "This is a vcard test"
email.From = "Chilkat Admin <admin@chilkatsoft.com>"
success = email.AddTo("Chilkat Support","support@chilkatsoft.com")
# To add more recipients, call AddTo, AddCC, or AddBcc once per recipient.

# A vCard is an email attachment having a Content-Type = "text/x-vcard".
# Call AddStringAttachment to add a vcard from an in-memory string.
# The filename should have a ".vcf" file extension.  Chilkat will automatically
# recognize it and set the content-type to "text/x-vcard";

# Your application is responsible for providing the vcard formatted string.  For example:
# See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard
# 
# begin:vcard
# fn:Matt Smith
# n:Smith;Matt
# org:Chilkat Software, Inc.
# tel;work:630-784-9670
# url:http://www.chilkatsoft.com
# version:2.1
# end:vcard

vcard = "begin:vcard ..."
success = email.AddStringAttachment("admin.vcf",vcard)
if (success != True):
    print(email.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server and send.
# The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
# open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
# same connection.  
success = mailman.SendEmail(email)
if (success != True):
    print(mailman.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until 
# the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
# call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.  
# Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is 
# not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
# for the example:
success = mailman.CloseSmtpConnection()
if (success != True):
    print("Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.")

print("Mail with vCard Sent!")
