How can I send emails using Flask-Mail?

To send emails using Flask-Mail, you first need to install the Flask-Mail package and configure your Flask app.

What are the basic configurations I need to set up?

You need to set the MAIL_SERVER, MAIL_PORT, MAIL_USERNAME, MAIL_PASSWORD, and MAIL_USE_TLS or MAIL_USE_SSL in your app's config.

Can you show me a simple example of sending an email?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

from flask import Flask
from flask_mail import Mail, Message

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['MAIL_SERVER'] = 'smtp.example.com'
app.config['MAIL_PORT'] = 587
app.config['MAIL_USERNAME'] = '[email protected]'
app.config['MAIL_PASSWORD'] = 'your_password'
app.config['MAIL_USE_TLS'] = True

mail = Mail(app)

@app.route('/send_email/')
def send_email():
    msg = Message('Hello', sender='[email protected]', recipients=['[email protected]'])
    msg.body = 'This is a test email.'
    mail.send(msg)
    return 'Email sent!'

Just replace the placeholders with your actual email details.
