# Red Mail: Advanced Email Sender > Next generation email sender --- [![Pypi version](https://badgen.net/pypi/v/redmail)](https://pypi.org/project/redmail/) [![build](https://github.com/Miksus/red-mail/actions/workflows/main.yml/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://github.com/Miksus/red-mail/actions/workflows/main.yml) [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/Miksus/red-mail/branch/master/graph/badge.svg?token=IMR1CQT9PY)](https://codecov.io/gh/Miksus/red-mail) [![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/red-mail/badge/?version=latest)](https://red-mail.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) [![PyPI pyversions](https://badgen.net/pypi/python/redmail)](https://pypi.org/project/redmail/) ## What is it? Red Mail is an advanced email sender library. It makes sending emails trivial and has a lot of advanced features such as: - [Attachments](https://red-mail.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/attachments.html) - [Templating (with Jinja)](https://red-mail.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/jinja_support.html) - [Embedded images](https://red-mail.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/body_content.html#embedded-images) - [Prettified tables](https://red-mail.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/body_content.html#embedded-tables) - [Send as cc or bcc](https://red-mail.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/sending.html#sending-email-with-cc-and-bcc) - [Gmail preconfigured](https://red-mail.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/config.html#gmail) See more from the [documentations](https://red-mail.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) or see [release from PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/redmail/). Install it from PyPI: ```shell pip install redmail ``` ## Why Red Mail? Sending emails **SHOULD NOT** be this complicated: ```python import smtplib from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.text import MIMEText msg = MIMEMultipart('alternative') msg['Subject'] = 'An example email' msg['From'] = 'first.last@gmail.com' msg['To'] = 'first.last@example.com' part1 = MIMEText("Hello!", 'plain') part2 = MIMEText("

Hello!

", 'html') msg.attach(part1) msg.attach(part2) # Send the message via our own SMTP server. s = smtplib.SMTP('localhost', port=0) s.send_message(msg) s.quit() ``` With Red Mail, it is simple as this: ```python from redmail import EmailSender email = EmailSender(host="localhost", port=0) email.send( subject="An example email", sender="me@example.com", receivers=['first.last@example.com'], text="Hello!", html="

Hello!

" ) ``` You can also do more advanced things easily with it: ```python from redmail import EmailSender email = EmailSender( host="localhost", port=0, user_name="me@example.com", password="" ) email.send( subject="An example email", sender="me@example.com", # Recipients receivers=['first.last@example.com'], cc=["also@example.com"], bcc=["external@example.com"], # Body of the email html="""

Hello {{ friend }}!

Have you seen this thing:

{{ awesome_image }}

Or this:

{{ pretty_table }}

Or this plot:

{{ a_plot }}

Kind regards, {{ sender.full_name }}
