VSCode Send Email\n\n\u003e Compose and send emails, and read your inbox — without leaving VS Code.\n\n[![GitHub Repo stars](https://img.shields.io/github/stars/luizalbertobm/vscode-send-email?style=plastic\u0026logo=github)](https://github.com/luizalbertobm/vscode-send-email/stargazers)\n[![VS Marketplace](https://img.shields.io/badge/vscode-send_email?style=plastic\u0026label=Marketplace\u0026logo=metrodeparis)](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=beecoders.bee-send-email)\n[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg?style=plastic)](LICENSE)\n\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\n- **Activity Bar shortcut** — click the ✉️ envelope icon in the sidebar to open the email form instantly\n- **Command Palette** — run `Email: Send Email` from anywhere in VS Code\n- **Simple form** — fill in To, Subject, and Message, then click Send\n- **Gmail SMTP** — sends via your own Gmail account using an app password\n- **Inbox view** — see your 10 most recent emails directly in the Activity Bar sidebar\n- **Email reader** — click any message in the inbox to open and read it as an editor tab, with full header info and rendered HTML or plain-text body\n- **No browser, no switching context** — everything stays inside VS Code\n\n---\n\n## Requirements\n\n- A Gmail account with **2-Step Verification** enabled\n- A **Gmail App Password** (not your regular Gmail password)\n\n### How to generate a Gmail App Password\n\n1. Go to [myaccount.google.com/apppasswords](https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords)\n2. Enable **2-Step Verification** if not already on\n3. Open **App passwords**\n4. Create a new app password (e.g. name it `VS Code`)\n5. Copy the 16-character password — you'll paste it into the extension settings\n\n---\n\n## Setup\n\nOpen **Settings** (`Ctrl+,`) and search for **Send Email**, or edit your `settings.json` directly:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"sendEmail.smtpUser\": \"you@gmail.com\",\n  \"sendEmail.smtpPassword\": \"your-16-char-app-password\",\n  \"sendEmail.fromAddress\": \"Your Name \u003cyou@gmail.com\u003e\"\n}\n```\n\n| Setting | Default | Description |\n|---------|---------|-------------|\n| `sendEmail.smtpHost` | `smtp.gmail.com` | SMTP server hostname |\n| `sendEmail.smtpPort` | `465` | SMTP port (SSL) |\n| `sendEmail.smtpUser` | — | Your Gmail address |\n| `sendEmail.smtpPassword` | — | Gmail app password |\n| `sendEmail.fromAddress` | — | From display name/address (defaults to smtpUser) |\n| `sendEmail.imapHost` | `imap.gmail.com` | IMAP server hostname (for inbox) |\n| `sendEmail.imapPort` | `993` | IMAP port (SSL) |\n\n---\n\n## Usage\n\n### From the Activity Bar\n1. Click the **✉️ envelope icon** in the left Activity Bar\n2. The email form opens in the sidebar\n3. Fill in **To**, **Subject**, **Message**\n4. Click **Send**\n\n### From the Command Palette\n1. Press `Ctrl+Shift+P`\n2. Type `Send Email`\n3. Press Enter — the form opens as an editor panel\n\n### Reading your Inbox\n1. Click the **✉️ envelope icon** in the Activity Bar\n2. The **Inbox** panel lists your 10 most recent emails\n3. Click the **↻ Refresh** button in the panel toolbar to reload\n4. Click any email to open it in a viewer tab beside your current editor\n\n---\n\n## Extension Settings\n\nAll settings are under the `sendEmail` namespace and can be configured per-user or per-workspace.\n\n\u003e ⚠️ **Security note:** Use a Gmail **App Password**, not your main account password. App passwords are revocable independently. Avoid committing workspace `settings.json` files containing your password to source control.\n\n---\n\n## Known Limitations\n\n- Supports **plain-text** emails only when sending (no HTML or attachments)\n- Inbox fetches the **10 most recent messages** from the INBOX folder\n- Requires a Gmail account (other providers work if you update the SMTP/IMAP host and port settings)\n- The app password is stored in VS Code settings — use **User Settings** (not Workspace) to keep it off disk in shared projects\n\n---\n\n## Release Notes\n\nSee [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md).\n\n---\n\n## Author\n\n**[Bee Coders](https://www.beecoders.dev)** — Developed by Luiz Alberto B.
