I didn't know myself, but this is actually possible with EWS using either the SendItem service with existing draft items, or with the CreateItem service. We don't support the former service yet (but it would be easy to add). We do support the latter, but only in save-mode, not in send-and-save mode. Until the mode is configurable, you'll need to got to exchange lib.folders.Folder.create_xml() and change MessageDisposition='SaveOnly' to MessageDisposition='SendAndSaveCopy'. Then you can do something like:

email = Message(
    subject='Hi',
    body='Dear mom', 
    to_recipients=[Mailbox(email_address='[email protected]')]
)
sent_folder = my_account.folders[Messages][<choose one of the folders here as your destination>]
sent_folder.add_items([email])

from exchangelib.

Since version 1.7.0, sending emails is supported, with less code than the above (example updated for version 1.7.2):

from exchangelib import Account, Credentials
from exchangelib.folders import Message, Mailbox

email = '[email protected]'
password = 'topsecret'

a = Account(email, credentials=Credentials(email, password), autodiscover=True)

# If you don't want a local copy
m = Message(
    account=a, 
    subject='Daily motivation', 
    body='All bodies are beautiful', 
    to_recipients=[Mailbox(email_address='[email protected]')]
)
m.send()

# Or, if you want a copy in the 'Sent' folder
m = Message(
    account=a, 
    folder=a.sent,
    subject='Daily motivation', 
    body='All bodies are beautiful', 
    to_recipients=[Mailbox(email_address='[email protected]')]
)
m.send_and_save()

Hello Sir,
How can I attach an excel file from a dir

from exchangelib.

There's an example of file attachments at https://github.com/ecederstrand/exchangelib/blob/master/README.rst#attachments

Excel files are just binary data as far as EWS is concerned, so there's nothing special you need to do there. To get the binary data in a file in Python, do this:

with open('/path/to/file.xlsx', 'rb') as f:
    content = f.read()

Please post your failing code and the except you get.

Really appreciate all your help. I think the issue I have is with the .pdf attachment. I am getting a content error, i am not sure its from the FileAttachment in exchangelib . Does it accept PDFs as content?

Error message = TypeError: Field '_content' value '<PyPDF2.pdf.PdfFileReader object at 0x0000000011E320F0>' must be of type <class 'bytes'>

from exchangelib import Account, Credentials, Message, Mailbox, FileAttachment
import PyPDF2

dir_path = ('C:/Users/Istcrmt/Documents/Python/PythonforAnaconda3.5/')
excel_name = 'test.xlsx'
cover_letter_name = 'test.pdf'
#attach an excel file:

with open(dir_path + excel_name, 'rb') as f,
open(dir_path + cover_letter_name, 'rb') as g:
# Read the binary file contents
excel_content = f.read()
cl_content = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(g)
excel_att = FileAttachment(name='test.xlsx', content=excel_content)
cl_att = FileAttachment(name='test.pdf', content=cl_content)

loop through the email list

for i in email_list.itertuples():

if you want a copy in the 'Sent' folder

m = Message(
    account=a 
    ,folder=a.sent
    ,subject=(i.AGENCY_NAME + ' I made an email script.')
    ,body=body_of_email 
    ,to_recipients=[Mailbox(email_address=i.NEW_MAIL)])

#attach files
m.attach(excel_att)
m.attach(cl_att)

m.send_and_save()

from exchangelib.

You shouldn't convert g to a PyPDF2 object. Just read the bytes from the file directly, like you did for the Excel file.

FileAttachment doesn't care about the file type. It just wants a bytes object for the content argument. If the receiving end is having trouble opening the file, you may have to set the content_type argument explicitly. We try to guess the mimetype of the file from the name argument, but that may fail.
