Introduction
Much like the MailMe plugin, MailMeToo delivers notifications by sending an email for every notification it is set to process.
The MailMeToo plugin was created to give the user more control on how the emails are sent: in MailMe the user can only configure the destination email address, then Mail.app is used to route the email to its destination. In MailMeToo users are allowed to provide an SMTP account's information like in any email client. Emails are sent through the specified server using the specified account information.
If you are not familiar with SMTP configuration, and if you don't have any particular reason not to use the MailMe plugin, then better use MailMe as a simpler solution. I built this plugin because I couldn't get MailMe to work with Mail.app at work, and because I needed a clean Cocoa class to send emails through SMTP for another project.
Features
MailMeToo supports the following:
- Basic and TLS (SSL) connections, including the STARTTLS command, which allows basic connections to switch to TLS.
- Anonymous and authenticated connections, with AUTH modes PLAIN, LOGIN and CRAM-MD5.
- Import SMTP accounts already configured in Mail.app
- Passwords are safely stored in the OSX Keychain
Compatibility
MailMeToo has been successfully tested with Growl versions 1.2.2 and 1.3.2. It is only compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and 10.7 Lion.
Testing
After filling the required fields, hit the Preview button on bottom of the preferences pane. An email should be sent to the specified recipient. If something goes wrong, something should be logged. You can access the logs through Console.app, in your Utilities folder.
Looks good!
