GitHub - mobizt/ESP-Mail-Client: The comprehensive Arduino Email Client Library to send and read Email for Arduino devices. The library also supports other network shields or modules e.g., Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and GSM/4G modules.

The comprehensive Arduino Email Client Library to send and read Email for Arduino devices.

This library was tested and works well with ESP32s, ESP8266s, SAMD21s and RP2040 Pico based modules.

The library supported external networking devices hat work with Arduino Clients e.g. WiFiClient, EthernetClient, and GSMClient.

Minimum 200k flash space device is recommended for library installation and user code.

The minimum ram requirement is based on the applications (SMTP and IMAP). IMAP application may required up to 20k memory while SMTP application required much less memory.

Prerequisites

Gmail SMTP and IMAP required App Passwords to sign in

From May 30, 2022, Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your GoogleAccount using only your username and password.

This means the Gmail account credentials i.e. account Email and account password can't be used to sign in with Google SMTP and IMAP servers. This prevents the third party apps hack to Gmail user account.

To use Gmail with this library, you need to use App Passwords instead.

For setting up the App Passwords, please read here.

After you created App Password, you can use Gmail Email address and App Password created to sign in as the following.

config.login.email = "<your email>";
config.login.password = "<your app password>";

PlatformIO IDE Compile Options

For Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect board, using PlatformIO IDE, to prevent the compile error due to wrong headers compilation, please set the lib_ldf_mode in platformio.ini as this.

lib_ldf_mode = chain+

Third party SD library must be removed

In Arduino IDE, all third party SD libraries installed in libraries folder must be reboved.

The Core SD library was used instead of third party SD libraries.

SdFat conflicts in ESP8266 and must be removed

The SdFat is already implemented as wrapper class in ESP8266 core library.

For Arduino IDE, the SdFat library should be removed from libraries folder when you compile this library for ESP8266 because of conclicts with core library SDFS.h.

ESP32 and ESP8266 SDKs

For Espressif's ESP32 and ESP8266 based boards, this library requires Arduino's ESP32 or ESP8266 Core SDK to be installed.

The latest Core SDK is recommended. For ESP8266, the Core SDK version 3.x.x or later is recommended.

The ESP8266 Core SDK version 2.5.x and earlier are not supported.

For ESP32, the Core SDK version 2.0.4 or later is recommended.

The ESP32 Core SDK version 1.0.4 and earlier are not supported.

RP2040 Arduino SDK

For Arduino IDE, the Arduino-Pico SDK can be installed from Boards Manager by searching pico and choose Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040 to install.

For PlatformIO, the Arduino-Pico SDK can be installed via platformio.ini

[env:rpipicow]
platform = https://github.com/maxgerhardt/platform-raspberrypi.git
board = rpipicow
framework = arduino
board_build.core = earlephilhower
monitor_speed = 115200
board_build.filesystem_size = 1m

See this Arduino-Pico SDK documentation for more information.

Library integration causes ESP_SSLClient compilation issue

This library included the SSL Client library called ESP_SSLClient.

When this library was used together with my other libraries e.g. FirebaseClient, Firebase-ESP-Client, Firebase-ESP32 and Firebase-ESP8266 which come with built-in ESP_SSLClient library, the Arduino IDE compilation error will be occurred. You have to remove the folder src/client/SSLClient in the subsequent included library.

For example if FirebaseClient.h was included after ESP_Mail_Client.h, the folder src/client/SSLClient in the FirebaseClient library installation folder should be removed.

Microsoft's OneDrive issue

You cannot install any Arduino libraries in the Microsoft's OneDrive folders. You should remove the Documents folder which contains the Arduino's libraries folder, from the Microsoft's OneDrive.

Library Instalation

Using Library Manager

At Arduino IDE, go to menu Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries...

In Library Manager Window, search "ESP Mail Client" in the search form then select "ESP Mail Client".

Click "Install" button.

For PlatformIO IDE.

Go to PIO Home -> Libraries -> Registry then search ESP Mail Client.

If you ever installed this library in Global storage in PlatformIO version prior to v2.0.0 and you have updated the PlatformIO to v2.0.0 and later, the global library installation was not available, the sources files of old library version still be able to search by the library dependency finder (LDF), you needed to remove the library from folder C:\Users\<UserName>\.platformio\lib to prevent unexpected behavior when compile and run.

Manual installation

Click on Code dropdown at the top of repository, select Download ZIP and save file on your computer.

From Arduino IDE, goto menu Sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP Library... and choose ESP-Mail-Client-master.zip that previously downloaded.

Rename ESP-Mail-Client-master folder to ESP_Mail_Client.

Go to menu Files -> Examples -> ESP Mail Client and choose one from examples

In case the library compile status showed here is passing and your code compilation is error, you should check your libary installation, platform Core SDK installation and the library usage. You cannot install library in the cloud storage virtual folder or sandbox e.g. Microsoft's OneDrive.

Memory Options

Memory Options for ESP8266

This section is optional for memory settings in IDE.

When you update the ESP8266 Arduino Core SDK to v3.0.0, the memory can be configurable from IDE.

You can choose the Heap memory between internal and external memory chip from IDE e.g. Arduino IDE and PlatformIO on VSCode or Atom IDE.

Arduino IDE

For ESP8266 devices that don't have external SRAM/PSRAM chip installed, choose the MMU option 3, 16KB cache + 48KB IRAM and 2nd Heap (shared).

For ESP8266 devices that have external 23LC1024 SRAM chip installed, choose the MMU option 5, 128K External 23LC1024.

For ESP8266 devices that have external ESP-PSRAM64 chip installed, choose the MMU option 6, 1M External 64 MBit PSRAM.

PlatformIO IDE

The MMU options can be selected from build_flags in your project's platformio.ini file

For ESP8266 devices that don't not have external SRAM/PSRAM chip installed, add build flag as below.

[env:d1_mini]
platform = espressif8266
build_flags = -D PIO_FRAMEWORK_ARDUINO_MMU_CACHE16_IRAM48_SECHEAP_SHARED
board = d1_mini
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200

For ESP8266 devices that have external 23LC1024 SRAM chip installed, add build flag as below.

[env:d1_mini]
platform = espressif8266
;128K External 23LC1024
build_flags = -D PIO_FRAMEWORK_ARDUINO_MMU_EXTERNAL_128K
board = d1_mini
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200

For ESP8266 devices that have external ESP-PSRAM64 chip installed, add build flag as below.

[env:d1_mini]
platform = espressif8266
;1M External 64 MBit PSRAM
build_flags = -D PIO_FRAMEWORK_ARDUINO_MMU_EXTERNAL_1024K
board = d1_mini
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200

ESP8266 and SRAM/PSRAM Chip connection

Most ESP8266 modules don't have the built-in SRAM/PSRAM on board. External memory chip connection can be done via SPI port as below.

23LC1024/ESP-PSRAM64                ESP8266

CS (Pin 1)                          GPIO15
SCK (Pin 6)                         GPIO14
MOSI (Pin 5)                        GPIO13
MISO (Pin 2)                        GPIO12
/HOLD (Pin 7 on 23LC1024 only)      3V3
Vcc (Pin 8)                         3V3
Vcc (Pin 4)                         GND

Once the external Heap memory was selected in IDE, to allow the library to use the external memory, you can set it in ESP_Mail_FS.h by define this macro.

#define ESP_MAIL_USE_PSRAM

This macro was defined by default when you installed or update the library.

Memory Options for ESP32

This section is optional for memory settings in IDE.

In ESP32 module that has PSRAM installed, you can enable it and set the library to use this external memory instead.

Arduino IDE

To enable PSRAM in ESP32 module.

PlatformIO IDE

In PlatformIO on VSCode or Atom IDE, add the following build_flags in your project's platformio.ini file.

build_flags = -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM -mfix-esp32-psram-cache-issue

As in ESP8266, once the external Heap memory was enabled in IDE, to allow the library to use the external memory, you can set it in ESP_Mail_FS.h by define this macro.

#define ESP_MAIL_USE_PSRAM

Library Build Options

The library build options are defined as preprocessor macros (#define name).

Some options can be disabled to reduce program space.

Predefined Options

The predefined options that are already set in ESP_Mail_FS.h are following.

ENABLE_IMAP // For IMAP class compilation
ENABLE_SMTP // For SMTP class compilation
ENABLE_NTP_TIME // For enabling the device or library time setup from NTP server
ENABLE_ERROR_STRING // For enabling the error string from error reason
ESP_MAIL_USE_PSRAM // For enabling PSRAM support
ESP_MAIL_DEFAULT_FLASH_FS // For enabling Flash filesystem support
ESP_MAIL_DEFAULT_SD_FS // For enabling SD filesystem support 
ESP_MAIL_CARD_TYPE_SD or ESP_MAIL_CARD_TYPE_SD_MMC // The SD card type for SD filesystem

The Flash and SD filesystems are predefined.

SD is the default SD filesystem for all devices.

For ESP8266 and Arduino Pico, LittleFS is the default flash filesystem.

For ESP32 since v2.0.x, LittleFS is the default flash filesystem otherwise SPIFFS is the default flash filesystem.

In otherr devices, SPIFFS is the default flash filesystem.

User can change ESP_MAIL_DEFAULT_FLASH_FS and ESP_MAIL_DEFAULT_SD_FS with ESP_MAIL_CARD_TYPE_SD or ESP_MAIL_CARD_TYPE_SD_MMC defined values for other filesystems.

Optional Options

The following options are not yet defined in ESP_Mail_FS.h and can be assigned by user.

SILENT_MODE // For silent operation (no debug printing and callback)
ESP_MAIL_ETHERNET_MODULE_LIB `"EthernetLibrary.h"` // For the Ethernet library to work with external Ethernet module
ESP_MAIL_ETHERNET_MODULE_CLASS EthernetClass // For the Ethernet class object of Ethernet library to work with external Ethernet module
ESP_MAIL_ETHERNET_MODULE_TIMEOUT 2000 // For the time out in milliseconds to wait external Ethernet module to connect to network
ENABLE_ESP8266_ENC28J60_ETH //  For ENC28J60 Ethernet module support in ESP8266
ENABLE_ESP8266_W5500_ETH // For W5500 Ethernet module support in ESP8266
ENABLE_ESP8266_W5100_ETH // For W5100 Ethernet module support in ESP8266
ESP_MAIL_DISABLE_ONBOARD_WIFI // For disabling on-board WiFI functionality in case external Client usage
ESP_MAIL_DISABLE_NATIVE_ETHERNET // For disabling native (sdk) Ethernet functionality in case external Client usage
ESP_MAIL_DISABLE_SSL // // For disabling SSL connection (also disabling TLS using STARTTLS) in MAP and SMTP application 
ESP_MAIL_DEBUG_PORT // For debug port assignment if SILENT_MODE option was not set

You can assign the optional build options using one of the following methods.

By creating user config file Custom_ESP_Mail_FS.h in library installed folder and define these optional options.
By adding compiler build flags with -D name.

In PlatformIO IDE, using build_flags in PlatformIO IDE's platformio.ini is more convenient

build_flags = -D ESP_MAIL_DEBUG_PORT=Serial
              -D DISABLE_IMAP
              -D ESP_MAIL_DISABLE_ONBOARD_WIFI

For external Ethernet module integation used with function setEthernetClient, both ESP_MAIL_ETHERNET_MODULE_LIB and ESP_MAIL_ETHERNET_MODULE_CLASS should be defined.

ESP_MAIL_ETHERNET_MODULE_LIB is the Ethernet library name with extension (.h) and should be inside "" or <> e.g. "Ethernet.h".

ESP_MAIL_ETHERNET_MODULE_CLASS is the name of static object defined from class e.g. Ethernet.

ESP_MAIL_ETHERNET_MODULE_TIMEOUT is the time out in milliseconds to wait network connection.

For disabling predefined options instead of editing the ESP_Mail_FS.h or using #undef in Custom_ESP_Mail_FS.h, you can define these build flags with these names or macros in Custom_ESP_Mail_FS.h.

DISABLE_IMAP // For excluding the IMAP class compilation
DISABLE_SMTP // For excluding the SMTP class compilation
DISABLE_NTP_TIME // For disabling the NTP time setting
DISABLE_ERROR_STRING // For disabling the error string from error reason
DISABLE_PSRAM // For disabling PSRAM support
DISABLE_FLASH // For disabling flash filesystem support
DISABLE_SD // For disabling SD filesystem support

DISABLE_ALL_OPTIONS // For disabling all predefined build options above

Note that, Custom_ESP_Mail_FS.h for user config should be placed in the library install folder inside src folder.

This Custom_ESP_Mail_FS.h will not change or overwrite when update the library.

Usage

See examples folder for all usage examples.

See src/README.md for the functions descriptions.

Get Mailbox Changes Notification

See Mailbox_Changes_Notification.ino for the example.

Sending Custom IMAP commands

Can't find what you want from exising IMAP functions, sending custom command was supported.

Please read the RFC 3501 and RFC 9051 documents for the details of IMAP protocol commands.

See Custom_Command examples for how to use.

Using TCP session KeepAlive in ESP8266 and ESP32

The server connection will be probed at some intervals to maintain connection.

The TCP session KeepAlive can be enabled from executing <SMTPSession>.keepAlive or <IMAPSession>.keepAlive with providing TCP options as arguments, i.e.,

tcpKeepIdleSeconds, tcpKeepIntervalSeconds and tcpKeepCount.

Ex.

smtp.keepAlive(5 /* tcp KeepAlive idle 5 seconds */, 5 /* tcp KeeAalive interval 5 seconds */, 1 /* tcp KeepAlive count 1 */);

imap.keepAlive(5 /* tcp KeepAlive idle 5 seconds */, 5 /* tcp KeeAalive interval 5 seconds */, 1 /* tcp KeepAlive count 1 */);

// If one of three arguments is zero, the KeepAlive will be disabled.

To check the KeepAlive status, use <SMTPSession>.isKeepAlive or <IMAPSession>.isKeepAlive.

For the TCP (KeepAlive) options, see here.

You can check the server connecting status, by executing <SMTPSession>.connected() or <IMAPSession>.connected() which will return true when connection to the server is still alive.

The TCP KeepAlive was currently available in ESP32 unless in ESP8266, this ESP8266 PR #8940 should be merged in the ESP8266 Arduino Core SDK, i.e., it will be supported in the ESP8266 core version newer than v3.1.2.

In ESP8266 core v3.1.2 and older, the error can be occurred when executing <SMTPSession>.keepAlive or <IMAPSession>.isKeepAlive because of object slicing.

The Arduino Pico is currently not support TCP KeepAlive until it's implemented in WiFiClientSecure library as in ESP8266.

For External Client, this TCP KeepAlive option is not appliable and should be managed by external Client library.

Use External Arduino Clients for External Networking Devices

This library supports external netwoking devices e.g. WiFi modules, Ethernet modules and GSM modules that connected to the Arduino device via communication ports e.g. SPI and Serial, through the Arduino Clients (driver) for those networking devices e.g. WiFiClient, EthernetClient and GSMClient.

Since v3.4.0, the Arduino Clients can be used with this library without additional external SSL Client required.

No additional setup needed, only pass the Arduino Client to the function setClient or pass the TinyGSMClient and TinyGSM modem to the function setGSMClient or pass the Ethernet client and mac address to the function setEthernetClient.

Two callback functions are required (except for setGSMClient and setEthernetClient) for network connection (with disconnection) and sending connecting status back to the Mail Client.

If device has on-board WiFi and supports native (SDK) Ethernet, these two native networks will be auto detectd and used.

If you don't want to let ESP Mail Client library to use the native networking and use external networking devices using Arduino Clients instead, the following build flags or macros should be defined in Custom_ESP_Mail_FS.h.

ESP_MAIL_DISABLE_ONBOARD_WIFI

ESP_MAIL_DISABLE_NATIVE_ETHERNET

See External Client Examples for more external Client usage.

TTGO T-A7670 LTE with TinyGSM

The following example showed how to use TTGO T-A7670 with GSMClient to connect to SMTP server.

To allow TinyGSM library integration, the following build flag or macro should be defined in Custom_ESP_Mail_FS.h.
