Hi everyone !
I found an example how to send an email and tested it. It works well with Gmail (after messing with the security settings).
However when sending to Hotmail it won't get through. Can anyone provide a working example how you got this to work with Hotmail?
Bonus question: Can you style this by sending HTML format with fonts and colors, multiple lines, if so how to do that?

EDIT:
With help from the community members I put together a little source code example how to send email to anywhere including Hotmail using plain text and an alternative method to send HTML formatted text.
Here's the result as plain text email (to Hotmail)
Here's the result as Html formatted email (To Hotmail of course - what did you expect
Send an email source code:
v0.3 Plain text only
v0.4 Plain text/HTML formatting (both included as optional)
UPDATE: Available is now also B4Xemail Library. Latest version is v0.4 that corresponds to the source code examples.
This was made using a non-GUI project. It supports both default/html email messages.
You can pre-define your custom html messages or use in-line html code when you pass the message in the parameters.
Hope you find my email library useful
