Flask Email Sender

This Flask application allows you to send emails through a simple web interface. It uses the Flask web framework, and emails are sent via Gmail SMTP. Below is a brief overview of the project:

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python installed on your machine.

• Flask and required dependencies installed. You can install them using the following command:

  pip install flask

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/flask-email-sender.git
   cd flask-email-sender

2. Run the application:

   python app.py

3. Open your web browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:5000/.

Usage

1. Access the web interface by visiting http://127.0.0.1:5000/.
2. Fill out the email sender, receiver, subject, and body fields.
3. Click the "Send Email" button to send the email.

Configuration

In the app.py file, find the send_email function. Replace 'your_password' with your actual Gmail password. Note: It's recommended to use an application-specific password instead of your main Gmail password.

smtp.login(email_sender, 'your_password')

Important Note

• This application uses Gmail's SMTP server. Make sure to enable "Less secure app access" in your Gmail account settings.
• For enhanced security, consider using an application-specific password for SMTP authentication.
