# 📧 Python Mail with Attachments
Send emails with attachments using Python's `smtplib` and the `email` library. This simple script demonstrates how to send emails with attachments programmatically.
## Introduction
This PythonMailWithAttachments project allows you to send emails with attachments using Python. It uses the `smtplib` library to establish an SMTP connection and the `email` library to create and format the email message. This script is particularly useful for sending automated emails with attachments.
## Features
- **Attachment Support:** Attach files to your emails with ease.
- **Easy Configuration:** Set up sender's email, password, receiver's email, and other details in the script.
- **Customizable Message:** Personalize the email body as needed.
## Prerequisites
Ensure you have Python installed on your system.
## Installation
1. Clone the GitHub repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/codeterrayt/PythonMailWithAttachments.git
cd PythonMailWithAttachments
```
2. Install the required libraries:
```bash
pip install secure-smtplib
```
## Usage
1. Open `main.py` in a text editor.
2. Update the following variables with your email details:
- `fromaddr`: Sender's email address.
- `password`: Sender's email password.
- `toaddr`: Receiver's email address.
- `subject`: Email subject.
- `body`: Email body text.
- `filename`: Name of the file to be attached (e.g., "home.png").
3. Save the changes.
4. Run the script:
```bash
python main.py
```
5. The script will prompt you for your email password and send the email with the attached file.
## Development
Feel free to explore and modify the code to suit your specific needs. You can customize the email subject, body, and attachment details as per your requirements.
