Send Email with Attachment in Outlook using Python

This Python code demonstrates how to send an email with an attachment in Outlook using Python's built-in smtplib and email libraries.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed on your machine.
• An email account with Outlook that allows programmatic access.

Getting Started

1. Clone or download the repository to your local machine.
2. Open the singleFile.py file in your preferred code editor.
3. Replace the following placeholders with your own values:
   • smtp_server: the SMTP server for your email provider.
   • smtp_username: the email address you want to use to send the email.
   • smtp_password: the password for the email address you want to use to send the email.
   • sender_email: the email address you want to use to send the email.
   • recipient_email: the email address you want to send the email to.
   • email_subject: the subject line of the email.
   • email_body: the body text of the email.
   • attachment_path: the file path of the attachment you want to include in the email.
4. Save the changes to the singleFile.py file.
5. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where the singleFile.py file is located.
6. Run the following command to execute the script: python singleFile.py.

Sending Email with Attachment for Multiple Files

If you want to send an email with an attachment for multiple files in a folder, you can use the multipleFiles.py script instead. This script uses the same smtplib and email libraries as the previous script, but it also uses the os and glob libraries to iterate over the files in a folder and send an email with an attachment for each file.

To use the multipleFiles.py script, follow the same steps as before, but replace the singleFile.py file with the multipleFiles.py file and replace the folder_path variable with the path to the folder containing the files you want to send as attachments.
