Hello,
Using net library is a perfect way to sending email.
But how can I send them, on the background, setting a different account from the field "sender"? Right now it works only with the device account or not?

I don't understand.
The initialize method of smtp call:
Initialize (Server AsString, Port AsInt, Username AsString, Password AsString, EventName AsString)

Sorry but I still do not understand.

If I use this code (assuming that "AAA@gmail.com" is my gmail account and the same that I use the phone):

B4X: 
Dim mailSMTP As SMTP

mail.Initialize("smtp.gmail.com", 587, "AAA@gmail.com", "PWDAAA", "SMTP")
mail.StartTLSMode = True 
mail.To.Add("AAA@gmail.com")
mail.Subject = "This is the subject"
mail.Body = "This is the message body."
mail.Send

I receive a mail from myself.

But if I set another account gmail when I initialize the variable "mail", the app doesn't send the mail.

Try:
B4X: 
mail.Initialize("smtp.gmail.com", 587, "AAA@gmail.com", "PWDAAA", "SMTP")
mail.StartTLSMode = True 
mail.To.Add("AAA@gmail.com")
mail.Subject = "This is the subject"
mail.Body = "This is the message body."
mail.Sender = "sender@gmail.com" '<--------------------------------------------
mail.Send

BTW, I'm not sure that gmail will allow you to send emails with a different sender.

But I don't want to set my private password when initializing the variable.
I prefer to set the "sender@gmail.com" pwd

hi
you can open a gmail account just for sending this kind of mail.
( so the password issue will not be a big thing )
and then change the settings of the gmail account of
" access for less secure apps" to enabled.
and then the net library smtp function works great.

Gmail can and will fail if you are sending from a different city, location. So if you live in lets say Seattle, Wa. USA and someone in using your app in Europe. It will fail.
