Welcome to the Indigo-BetterEmail wiki!
This Indigo plugin provides enhances capabilities for sending and receiving email from within Indigo.
- Download latest release here or from the Indigo Plugin Store.
- Follow standard plugin installation process.
- Create devices for each of your IMAP/POP/SMTP servers. For sending and receiving using one email account, you will need either an IMAP or POP device AND an SMTP device. BetterEmail will use the IMAP or POP device to scan for incoming emails and use the SMTP device to send emails.
- While it's possible to create both an IMAP and POP devices for the same (incoming) email account, doing so is discouraged.
BetterEmail works totally independent of the email system built into Indigo. It is recommended that you DO NOT use Indigo's email scanning on the same email account you'll be using BetterEmail to scan. Setting up the same email for sending from Indigo and BetterEmail is OK.
To send emails, create a BetterEmail "Send Email" action. You will need to specify the SMTP server device to use. The destination "Email To" and Subject are also required. CC and BCC recipients are optional.
The message body can be plain text or HTML.
Attachments are also supported. The name should be a fully qualified pathname visible to Indigo on your Indigo server (or mounted file share). Multiple attachments are supported. The plugin does not enforce any size limits on the generated email message, but your SMTP server might.
All text fields in the "Send Email" action dialog support Indigo's variable and device state substitution system. Use the format "%%v:12345%%" for variables and "%%d:12345:stateID%%" for device states.
Please use the GitHub Issues System for bug reports or feature requests. The BetterEmail Forum should be used for general usage questions.
