I am not able to send mail through smtp (smtp.gmail.com). It gives me following error message :

“ The SMTP mail system returned the folloeing error message: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not Authenticated. The server response was:5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. b11sm2417142rvf.10 “

Kindly help me to solve it ?

Thank you.

Maybe a “beginner” Question, but how do I uninstall the Dynamics Nav Mial Helper function again.
We Use 2 diff. versions of Navision. Inside my house we use 4.0 and my external customers use Nav 2009. I work (as developer) in both solutions.
Now after installing The Nav Mail Helper for the 4.0 solution, i can’t send a mail from the Nav 2009 client.
Can I uninstall the Dynamics Nav Mail Helper .dll again?

ok I created another table and modified the form because of a license problem and changed the Automation Server, anyway when I run my method which is
Mail.Send(
“SMTP Server”,Authentication Authentication::Anonymous,”User ID”,Password,”SMTP Server Port”);

SendMailCU.CreateMessage(‘me@mycomany.com’, ‘me@mycompany.com’, ‘me@mycompany.com’,
‘me@mycompany.com’, EMailBody, TRUE);

Never mind, I got it working. I used the Automation mentioned above added the port 25 and all is good now! Thank you very much!

Yes I do have access to designing Codeuntis however I couldn’t find the correct Automation type. I see one called “Microsoft Dynamics NAV Mail Helper which has IMessage and SmtpMessage Classes. Not sure if that is correct?

Yeah, the latest DLL is for version 2009. It has the port no. for the SMTP.Send method included, and also the fix for the file locking.

Do you have access to designing the codeunit, then you can change the automation and the Send method yourself. If not let me know, and i can upload a version 4SP2 codeunit with the changes.

Thanks Soren. I downloaded the objects and dlls you have above and installed on my 4.00 SP2 system. Is there an updated CU needed? I would appreciated an updated version if you have it.
Many Thanks!

Check the Send() function in codeunit 400:

WITH SMTPMailSetup DO
Result :=
Mail.Send(
“SMTP Server”,Authentication SMTPMailSetup.Authentication::Anonymous,”User ID”, Password);
CLEAR(Mail);
IF Result ” THEN
ERROR(Text003,Result);

In the newer versions it also requires a parameter for the port no. to send.

So you need a version 5 codeunit to work with the old SMTP mail, and 2009 with the hotfix in to work with the new SMTP.

Let me know if this solves it, or i can post the codeunits in the download section too.

Tried to use this functionality and receive:
Could not invoke the member Send. The OLE control or Automation server returned an unknown error code.

I’ve tried ion all authentication types with the same result. Any ideas?
