Delphi 8 for .NET makes it easier to send emails even with attachments. The System.Web.Mail namespace provides the necessary classes for sending email in .NET; follow this example.
uses System.Web.Mail;
procedure SendAnEmail;
var
MailMessage: System.Web.MailMessage;
begin
MailMessage := MailMessage.Create;
try
with MailMessage do
begin
From := 'me@hotmail.com';
&To := 'you@yahoo.com';
Subject := 'Important news';
Body := 'email body text here';
BodyFormat := System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Text;
end; { with MailMessage }
SmtpMail.SMTPSERVER := 'SMTPSERVER name';
SmtpMail.Send(MailMessage)
except
on e : Exception do
MsgResult.Text := 'Error occured!';
end; { try }
end;
