Great, so you've got your sever details all set but the connection isn't working. But, there is an extra step required, and we'll discuss that in the next section. Now, just because Gmail uses STARTTLS doesn't mean you can't use mailR. In the table below, I've summarized the connection details for the major webmail providers and indicated which use STARTTLS. If they do, all your SMTP settings could be correct in your send.mail() command, and your connection will still be rejected by the SMTP server. Here is the shortlistĪs mentioned in the previous section, some of these providers use STARTTLS. Along with some other searches, it looks like the big 5 e-mail providers were “webmail” providers. The best piece of data I found reporting the proportion of e-mail domains used was "List of most popular email domains” from 2016. So, who are the major webmail services? My determination of the big 5 e-mail services was not particularly scientific. Connecting to the Major Webmail Services (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.) STARTTLS isn't supported by mailR but there are options. This is most common with the major webmail services (e.g, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), because they use a different protocol by default, STARTTLS. Even so, it's very easy to get hung up on the server details… Especially, when you try both and it doesn't work. If you are using SSL, the port number is usually 465 and for TLS the port is usually 587. In my experience, establishing communication with an SMTP server is either SSL or TLS. Most of the major webmail providers support TLS.

Here is a quick summary of the most important arguments, you need: Usually you can find the SMTP details by searching for “SMTP and. Most important to our discussion are the SMTP settings starting on line 6. Looking over the code, you see that several details are needed to send an email.
