VB6, VBA ExampleYahoo SMTP server address is "smtp.mail.yahoo.com". It supports both Normal and SSL connection to do user authentication, and you should use your Yahoo email address as the user name for ESMTP authentication. For example: your email is "myid@yahoo.com", and then the user name should be "myid@yahoo.com".
If you want to use SSL connection with Yahoo SMTP server, you must set the port to 465. The following example codes demonstrate how to send email using Yahoo SMTP server.
' The following example codes demonstrate sending email message using Yahoo SMTP Server
' To get full sample projects, please download and install EASendMail on your machine.
' To run it correctly, please change SMTP server, user, password, sender, recipient value to yours
Private Sub btnSendMail_Click()
Dim oSmtp As New EASendMailObjLib.Mail
oSmtp.LicenseCode = "TryIt"
' Set your Yahoo email address
oSmtp.FromAddr = "myid@yahoo.com"
' Add recipient email address
oSmtp.AddRecipientEx "support@emailarchitect.net", 0
' Set email subject
oSmtp.Subject = "test email from Yahoo mail account"
' Set email body
oSmtp.BodyText = "this is a test email sent from VB 6.0 project with Yahoo email"
' Yahoo SMTP server address
oSmtp.ServerAddr = "smtp.mail.yahoo.com"
' For example: your email is "myid@yahoo.com", then the user should be "myid@yahoo.com"
oSmtp.UserName = "myid@yahoo.com"
oSmtp.Password = "yourpassword"
' Because Yahoo deploys SMTP server on 465 port with direct SSL connection.
' So we should change the port to 465.
oSmtp.ServerPort = 465
' Detect SSL/TLS automatically
oSmtp.SSL_init
MsgBox "start to send email ..."
If oSmtp.SendMail() = 0 Then
MsgBox "email was sent successfully!"
Else
MsgBox "failed to send email with the following error:" & oSmtp.GetLastErrDescription()
End If
End Sub
