PowerShell Tutorials : Send an email using MailKit

[@justin.emmons]

Would love to see you do a video over the module "PSWRITEHTML", it has some email functions in it that make beautiful HTML reports. I think you have covered the module already but not the email portion.

[@TerranceIngoldsby]

Great job! What a process to simply make up for Microsoft not updating their own cmdlet. But it works - and you clearly went to a lot of effort to figure out all of the parameters and steps!

Just found this, started implementing SEND-MAILMESSAGE and noticed the warnings. Anyway, MimeKit install, no problem. MailKit install failed, "Dependency loop detected for package 'MailKit'". Oops. Suggestions? Will search for an appropriate course of action, but advice appreciated: MORE: with -verbose added, it appears to get to the end of the object list AND START OVER. It's pulling version 4.3.0. LAST FOR NOW: adding -skipDependencies and leaving in -verbose, it completes but mentions that "Hash for package 'MailKit' does not match hash provided from the server". Don't know if this is a resul of including -skip or if the source package is off

Will $env:path = work in place of the add-type path?

[@Chessari017]

Which video do you refer to for securing the credentials?

[@jackedprogrammer]

It would be this video here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4LMinuenp2XjdE hope this helps :)

Looks very good! My question would be if I had a server without internet (just intranet with an e-mail server there), could I just copy the both dll's from an computer to the server or does the install-package more that the server would miss? Edit: Also.. do you know if MimeKit or MailKit can retrieve PKI-Certificates for S/MIME from an Exchange-Adressbook like Outlook does? Or do I need search for another solution for that? :)

[@jackedprogrammer]

Thank you for watching :) I believe just copying the DLL would work but I’m not 100% sure, and I believe the mimekit has some fonctions for S/MIME so I believe you’d be able to

[@captainfuture2882]

I wonder where the lib folder in linux can be found

[@JonSwarnerNH]

Hey @JackedProgrammer - I'm running into an issue when trying to add the MimeKit.dll type. The error I get is "Add-Type : Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.". I have the .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.5 packages installed. I've verified that the path to the MimeKit.dll file is valid. I've tried also using the .NET Framework 4.8 version (since 4.8 is pre-installed on my system), and I run into the same problem. Any advice?

[@MrNeweggfan]

Did you ever find the fix for this?

[@chazbush2934]

@@MrNeweggfan @JackedProgrammer Having the same issue. any luck?

[@oliversalery5964]

​@@chazbush2934 ​ If you do: try { Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\NuGet\Packages\MimeKit.3.3.0\lib etstandard2.1\MimeKit.dll" } catch { $_.Exception.LoaderExceptions } Then, it will tell you exactly why it can't load it and what dependency it's missing to do it.

[@1gieng]

Same issue here. Did you get anywhere with this issue?

[@timwilson3109]

Same error for me as well. I'm not C++ programmer so not sure where to look to fix this. Please help.

[@blahdelablah]

Thanks for the video. Just a quick thing, isn't "Mime" pronounced like the silent "mime" performers rather than having the same pronunciation as "meme"?

[@murattasova7598]

Thank you ver much, very good explantion!

[@jackedprogrammer]

No problem, glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@shivammishra8535]

How to add signature as well in the end of the mail?

[@jackedprogrammer]

Hi Shivam, for the signature I would do a html body and add the signature as html at the bottom of the body.

[@testmail5548]

Great tutorials, thanks man!

[@jackedprogrammer]

No problem! glad you're enjoying the videos :)

[@K6TJO]

Thanks for sharing but this is a ridiculously complicated solution for a sending an email. Microsoft needs to release a supportable cmdlet

[@jackedprogrammer]

No problem and I agree it’s really crazy that it’s been years actually and the solution is very complex when compared to the send-mailmessage cmdlet they should be making a new one

[@szehoyeu1]

Thank you for sharing.

[@jackedprogrammer]

Not a problem :) glad you're enjoying the videos :)
