sending mail from R (mailR)

I am trying to send mail from R on a windows 7 (home) machine. I tried the following code

send.mail(from = "mymailid@gmail.com",
          to = c("mymailid@gmail.com"),
          subject = "Subject of the email",
          body = "Body of the email",
          smtp = list(host.name = "smtp.gmail.com", port = 465, user.name = "myuserid", passwd = "my password", ssl = TRUE),
          authenticate = TRUE,
          send = TRUE)

I get the following error: Error in ls(envir = envir, all.names = private) : invalid 'envir' argument

after that I tried set up an hmail server (with a local domain name and user account, and smtp set up for smtp.gmail.com:25)

send.mail(from = "localuser@localdomain.local",
          to = c("mymailid@gmail.com"),
          subject = "Subject of the email",
          body = "Body of the email",
          smtp = list(host.name = "mail.hmailserver.com", port = 25),
          authenticate = FALSE,
          send = TRUE)

I still get the same error. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks vm

If your gmail account is propertly setup (as mOnhawk suggested) then this form should work for the smtp list:

smtp = list(host.name = "smtp.gmail.com", port = 465,
                        ssl=TRUE, user.name = "mymailid@gmail.com",
                        passwd = "my password)

If you're using gmail account, you might need to allow acess to your account from less secure aplications, using this link https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

If you have as well a 2 step verification, you also need to deactivate that.

i am trying to send email using RDCOMClient and here is the code

library(RDCOMClient)

emails <- paste("emailid")
## init com api
OutApp <- COMCreate("Outlook.Application")
## create an email 
outMail = OutApp$CreateItem(0)
## configure  email parameter 
outMail[["To"]] = emails
outMail[["Cc"]] = "emailid"
outMail[["subject"]] = "Monthly Report for Compliance"
outMail[["body"]] = paste(" Please find the monthly report  completed for ",Sys.Date(),
                          ".\n\n instrument file is saved at:\n G:\\Data Science\\Monthly Check - Westlake\\Instruments and Issuers Compliance List
                          "
                          )

outMail[["attachments"]]$Add("G:\\Data Science\\Monthly Check - Westlake\\Instruments and Issuers Compliance List\\Instruments_tracked-.02202018.csv")    
outMail$Send()

I get the below error
<checkErrorInfo> 80020009 
No support for InterfaceSupportsErrorInfo
checkErrorInfo -2147352567

You can try the following example:

library(mail)

to <-  "albert.physik@gmail.com"
subject <- "mail of R"
msg <- paste("Testing!")
sendmail(to, subject , msg)

But only allows you to send 20 emails per day I hope you find it useful.

Luck!

Did you use empty string as the body?

I tried with my company email and also gmail. When I put

body = "", # quotation marks with nothing in between

it yields

Error in ls(envir = envir, all.names = private) : invalid 'envir' argument

While this works:

body = " ", # adding a space there

Don't know why at all... If you happened to have empty string, this might help.

Subject being empty string causes no problem:

subject = "", # quotation marks with nothing in between
