Load EML and Send

Demonstrates how to load an email from a .eml file and send. React Native

import { Email, MailMan } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // 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.
  const mailman = new MailMan();

  // Set the SMTP server.
  mailman.smtpHost = 'smtp.chilkatsoft.com';

  // Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
  mailman.smtpUsername = 'myLogin';
  mailman.smtpPassword = 'myPassword';

  // Create a new email object
  const email = new Email();

  // Load a .eml file into the email object.
  email.loadEml('/data/myEmail.eml');

  // 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.  
  try {
    await mailman.sendEmailAsync(email);
  } catch {
    console.log(mailman.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // 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:
  try {
    await mailman.closeSmtpConnectionAsync();
  } catch {
    console.log('Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.');
  }

  console.log('Mail Sent!');
