I see you can send emails with uploaded attachments using the Google Gmail API. However, I want the user to be able to preview the email before sending. It looks like there isn't a way to do this?
So essentially would the only solution be to create my own simple email client, then send the email through the API? Or would using the API even be necessary as in that case I could just use the server's native sendmail client to sent out the email with the user's gmail address as the return address.
I guess using the API, the advantage is the email would appear in the user's SENT folder.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's a live preview that's available in a way you intended. As far as I know, Outlook (for reference) doesn't even have it. What they have is to upload the attachments while the mail is still being drafted.
The best I can think of is once the message will be sent, save it as draft at first and retrieve the mail again on the succeeding page. This will look like a preview that you intended. Once done, you can then finally send the drafted email to the receipients.

When sending mail from outlook using office.js, is there any feature to send mail individually?
For example, if you have 5 recipients, when you send an e-mail, the recipient can only see your own e-mail.
It has nothing to do with BCC.
Please let me know if that feature can be implemented in office.js.
OfficeJS doesn't provide anything out of the box. But I believe you can use EWS for creating and sending emails in the way you need. See Creating and sending email messages by using the EWS Managed API 2.0 for more information. The makeEwsRequestAsync method can be helpful.
Another possible way is to use Graph API, see Automate creating, sending, and processing messages.
I am trying to make an e-commerce website in Django and react. but I am not able to find a way for this scenario.
whenever a user purchases something a confirmation email should go to the user and one to the admin that a user buy something.
can we do this just by code or we have to use something like Mailchimp?i want to do it by writing code.
You don't need a service like Mailchimp for this. You need to write your own code for sending emails.
To send emails in Django you need to configure a mail server. You can use your own mail server or use providers like AWS SES (Simple Email Service) or SendGrid.
Then you need to write the code that will send two emails after the purchase. Ideally, it should be done in the webhook that will wait for payment confirmation from your payment provider (for example Stripe).
BTW, I'm working on Django+React tutorials at SaaSitive and just committed example code how to send activation emails (after registration) https://github.com/saasitive/django-react-boilerplate
I'm using sp_send_dbmail to send a "welcome" email to employees' newly provisioned mailboxes. The content looks good in both Outlook 2016 and in Office365.
There is a difference from the source email I'm replicating, however, in the how the attachments appear. The source email does not show a paperclip icon or attachments in either system. The email sent with sp_send_dbmail shows the paperclip in both and lists attachments in Office365 (but not in Outlook).
I copied the HTML from the source email in Outlook and had to change the src tags to get it to work:
<img ... src="cid:image009.png#01D42E2D.8043A5B0">
This wouldn't show the images until I removed the #01D42E2D.8043A5B0. I haven't been able to find any explanation of what that part of the tag does or how to use it properly.
Is there a way to make the message sent with sp_send_dbmail appear exactly as the original does?
Edit to add:
Further testing finds that TypeApp (an Android mail client) doesn't render the images from sp_send_dbmail, but it does display the source email correctly.
I realize that email clients won't behave consistently, but why can't I make the email I send behave like the other?
A possible workaround is to use SendGrid email. It might work differently with embedded images. Not sure.
In a previous project I hit a lot of various problems with our internal Exchange server, so I just went outside to SendGrid, which worked very well. They have a free tier.
I have a web project in AngularJS and using NOdeJS and ExpressJS on Backend.
I have a contact form in my application when I click on submit form data is sent as an email. This I have achieved using npm package called nodemailer.
But, now I wanted to check if that email id exists in real world (fake or real) before sending an email. So what is the best way to achieve this?
Can any one help me with this?
Thank you
There are some open source api like http://api.mailtest.in/v1/XXX
Where XXX is the domain from email. Which means if XXX exists as domain you can assume that mailbox might exist. Try using curl / parser to fetch the response via api call if its true means domain exists and email might exist as well.
Theoratically its possible by actually sending email and verifying the response itself. Check this https://github.com/hbattat/verifyEmail
But still there are certain conditions, many times the responses are not being sent by Mail Exchange servers for security reasons. Also your email can be blacklisted by doing this.
The real world scenario might be simple with user interaction, send email and ask them to verify their mail using the secret shared in email.
I am generating ics/iCal files for events in a Web app and emailing them to users to add to their calendars. This part works great
I would like to require a response in the ics files and then capture their responses. I was under the impression I can specify a URL to my Web app in the ics file. Then I can parse the email and attendee status from the response format.
Is something like this possible? I can't find any ics documentation to handle something like this.
Thanks!
Unfortunately, this is not possible. It's possible to specify in an iCalendar object that a user should respond, (by using the relevant parameters in the ATTENDEE property), but the result will be sent back as an e-mail response.
unless the receiving user runs a caldav server with scheduling support.
