BUG: cannot send email using outlook

[acbuyan]

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble automatically sending emails via my Outlook email address using Python. My organisation has MFA enabled, and I do not believe I can turn it off. The code I use is below:

outlook.username = username
outlook.password = password

print("sending email")
outlook.send(
    receivers=["[email protected]"], #NOTE: not email address I'm using, I'm using one that is legitimate
    subject="An example",
    text="Hi, this is an example."
)
print("email sent")

Expected behavior
I'm expecting to see the printed emails

sending email
email sent

Email provider:

• Email service: Outlook
• Application to view the email (unsure)

Environment (please complete the following information if relevant):

• OS: MacOSX
• Python version 3.11.5
• Red Mail version 0.6.0

You may also need to config the smtp information. Better try like this:

from redmail import EmailSender
outlook= EmailSender(host="smtp.office365.com", port=587, username=username, password=password)
outlook.send(
    receivers=["[email protected]"], #NOTE: not email address I'm using, I'm using one that is legitimate
    subject="An example",
    text="Hi, this is an example."
)
