Sending email from Adobe AIR

Sep 11, 2008 1:50 PM

Hi,

Does Adobe AIR have the ability to send automatically generated email messages without using the mailto: command to open an Outlook or Mail Application? I basically am looking for a way to allow a user to compose messages within an Adobe AIR application and when they press a send button in the application it sends the message to the appropriate email address.

If Adobe AIR can't handle this as a standalone application what would you recommend as a work around?

Thanks for your advice and time in advance.

    Hi,

    AIR can communicate via sockets. So you could implement the SMTP protocol in ActionScript to do exactly what you want. (That is, connect to an SMTP mail server and send the email message)

    (Search for as3 libraries for smtp. There might be ones out there already).
