How to mail to a particular email id using my gmail credentials from desktop application

I am just developing an a desktop application for Twitter, Buzz and facebook. Google Buzz has not released their whole api to post buzz, but today I came to know that to create a new Buzz just mail to buzz@gmail.com with subject as Buzz content you want to create.

Now I got stuck that how to mail to buzz@gmail.com from my gmail id using destop application which I am developing. Is there any kind of google webservice or api is available to do the task?

Thanks, GG

Solution

  • You can use SMTP to send mail through Gmail.
    First, you will need to enable either POP or IMAP (or both) for the Gmail account in settings.

    You can then connect to SMTP.Gmail.com on port 587 using SSL.
